- Rising Action
- The cry was pinched off short as the blood-warm waters of the Caribbean Sea dosed over his head. Rainsford remembered the shots. They had come from the right, and doggedly he swam in that direction, swimming with slow, deliberate strokes, conserving his strength -Rainsford
- Climax
- Gasping, his hands raw, he reached a flat place at the top. Dense jungle came down to the very edge of the cliffs. What perils that tangle of trees and underbrush might hold for him did not concern Rainsford just then. All he knew was that he was safe from his enemy, the sea, and that utter weariness was on him. He flung himself down at the jungle edge and tumbled headlong into the deepest sleep of his life.- Rainsford
- Falling Action
- He lifted the knocker, and it creaked up stiffly, as if it had never before been used. He let it fall, and it startled him with its booming loudness. He thought he heard steps within; the door remained closed. Again Rainsford lifted the heavy knocker, and let it fall. -Rainsford
- Resolution
- I give him three hours' start. I am to follow, armed only with a pistol of the smallest caliber and range. If my quarry eludes me for three whole days, he wins the game. If I find him—the general smiled—he loses. General Zaroff
- There was a little moonlight, so, before turning on his light, he went to the window and looked down at the courtyard. He could see the great hounds, and he called, Better luck another time, to them. Then he switched on the light. A man, who had been hiding in the curtains of the bed, was standing there. Rainsford! screamed the general. How in God's name did you get here? -General Zaroff
- He had never slept in a better bed, Rainsford decided. -Rainsford
