So the other men finally agreed with the first, and that was the worst mistake any of them had ever made. Because as soon as they step foot onto what they thought was a path straight up the mountain, but actually took them to my cave i started tracking them. And when they set up camp for the night, that’s when i attacked. First I started with the strongest, then i tore the heads off the other two to save for later and then i finally got around to eating the boy.

He coiled his fingers around the trigger, sweating nervously. For the first time, as the desperate prey, he prayed for his enemy to fall into his traps. Clueless of what the next few seconds, perhaps the last few seconds of his life have in store for him, he felt as if his thumping heart was about to jump under his skin. Will this game of cat and mouse ever end for Will Kane and Sanger Rainsford?

The hunter and the prey is an interesting dynamic, because one moment you can be the predator and think that you are on top of the world, and in the next moment you are the prey. Irony in the most dangerous game is a strong factor in the story, because at one moment you have the power, but then it is taken away and you are hunted like an animal. When Rainsford signed up for the hunting trip, he was not expecting that he himself was the one that was going to be hunted. In the beginning of the story, the sailors on the hunting expedition fear an island because of rumors, even though they are strong and are not afraid to kill any animal. Richard Cornell’s use of Irony in the story is used effectively because it shows that someone who was strong and fearless earlier is now helpless and fearful being the prey and that everyone thinks they are civilized and have good morals.

Satire can be described as work intended to trigger or scorn a group of people in a humorous way. For instance, “The Significance of Being Earnest,” a play by Oscar Wilde satirizes gender as well as marriage.

In an attempt to have ownership of the forest, Znaeym and von Gradwitz learn, at their deathbed, that arguing gets one nowhere. If the two main characters, Znaeym and

“Hunters in the Snow” deals with the motif of alienation, or isolation. Tub and Frank both experience isolation from others, reinforced by the secrets they are keeping. Kenny and Frank rush ahead of Tub while hunting, and almost leave without him. Tub has to run to catch up with them, and pulls himself into the truck before it drives away. Indignant, he says,”’I used to stick up for you.’

To the two men, the most sound way to do the duel would be to have one gun loaded and one gun not. This of course was sound in their eyes. This is because they both want the other dead, and it was the fastest. They would both shoot at each other and see who got shot. Both guns ended up not loaded, and there was no death.

This results in killing one of them and leaving the others severely injured and dazed from the

So according to Korb, the Interlopers in the story are both Ulrich and Georg, and the wolves were the only hunters defending their territory all along. She seems to condone the men to death, as if they deserved their fate for attempting to seize the wolves land. I’m not sure that I agree, but I enjoyed hearing her perspective.
