Alfred Hitchcock once said “There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.” This idea proves to be true in Richard Connell’s short story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” as Rainsford is constantly in fear from the anticipation of being caught by Zaroff. At the beginning Rainsford shows that he is a great hunter and shows no fear. When he is forced to play his game he is fearful and is scared for his life. The setting relates to the story by building suspense.

Stan is extremely suicidal but doesn’t really show it until verse two, saying that he sometimes cuts himself, which I imagine he would be doing often, just to see how much he can bleed, just because of the fact that a person he has met once and is very famous and busy will not write him back, in verse 3 Stanley says that he is driving 90 miles an hour on the freeway after drinking alcohol driving towards the end of a bridge, if he is not asking to

He happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is found guilty and sentenced to spend time at a boy’s detention camp. In both the movie and the book the camp is portrayed in the same way. The camp is out in the middle of what used to be a lake but is now a desert. The camp has no walls. All the rules Stanley and the other inmates have to follow are the same in both the movie and book. The people in charge at the camp are also the same in both book and movie version of this story.

By using repetition, personification, and apostrophe Carl Sandburg explains why he loves Chicago.

is true in the extreme for Stanley, he does what he wishes and disregards the consequences. It is not a motto he actually employs towards the remaining characters; thinking only of himself, he does not care if anyone else is "comfortable" or not. Through dialogue such as this, Williams asserts to the reader/audience the fact that Stanley inherently fails to take into account the repercussions his own requirements and desires have on others. He is in total control and the only person endowed with power; therefore the only person he takes into consideration - and the only person his wife is allowed to take

Stanley is the one that always exposes the lies that Blanche is always hiding behind. He is constantly trying to get her to accept his perspective. When she finally begins to understand him, it’s too late. With such a huge change, she loses her mental state.

His reasoning for acting the way he does toward Stella from his detachment and not wanting her to leave him. Also his characteristics of being rough and violent which is shown from the abuse of alcohol, which causes Stanley to become violent towards Stella.

We first meet Stanley at the beginning of scene one, we get an idea of Stanley's character from the stage directions that come before his first piece of speech. These stage directions prior to his dialogue say ‘[bellowing]’, the verb ‘bellowing’ is a very powerful word and immediately gives the impression that Stanley is aggressive, especially compared to the contrasting stage directions that describe Stella such as ‘[mildly]’.

Stanley was grateful for what Zero had done for him and wanted to repay the favor and help him out as well. When Stanley left for camp his mom gave him pen and paper so he could write her and tell her how it was going. By writing to his mom and telling her that he was okay, even though he lied about what he was doing he showed he cared for his parents. “Dear Mom and Dad, Camp is hard, but challenging.

He gets his lawyer to ask for files and after the Attorney General could not find his files they took Zero home with them. “C’mon Stanley,” said his lawyer. “Your parents are waiting.” Stanley stayed where he was.”

A year later, his father remarried a woman from “hell” and she was one of the reasons why Stanley became destructive. She was selfish and only cared for her and her seven children. She physically and emotionally abused Stanley by severely beating him many times and blaming him for senseless things. She also neglected him and his two other siblings while she gave her children the best of everything with Stanley’s father money. For example, his stepmother would save food and feed her own children and let Stanley and his siblings
