    chaka562,

    Richad Edward Connell's short story “The Most Dangerous Game” foreshadows danger from the moment one reads the title. What is the most dangerous game? Can someone lose their life playing "the most dangerous game"?

    Foreshadowing is continued with the island being described as "Ship-Trap Island" and General Zaroff mentioning to Rainsford during dinner that Zaroff has a "new game." It is easy to think ahead that Rainsford will be in some kind of danger, and may have to play "the most dangerous game," and if he wins, he gets his life; loses, his life is ended.

    The last line of the story:"He had never slept in a better bed, Rainsford decided," lets the reader know that Rainsford has killed General Zaroff, and has won "the most dangerous game."
