<span>The image of the majestic chateau mounted upon formidable cliffs seems a mirage to Rainsford after his desperate swim to shore. For, here on an island of the Caribbean is a castle from the other side of the world. But, yet, there is something sinister in it which foreshadows dangers ahead for Sanger Rainsford because of the highs cliff upon which it is placed, the "medieval magnificence" of it that suggests the base, cruel image of General Zaroff, whose many animals that he has shot are stuffed and mounted on the walls as "At the great table the general was sitting alone."</span>

The Tet Offensive was the turning point of the Vietnam War and showed the military strength of North Vietnam
o-na [289]

Actually Tet was more of a political victory for the North.  They launched a surprise attack on South Vietnam during the Tet holiday on January 30, 1968.  They attacked not only military targets but towns and cities.  Communist forces managed to storm the U.S. Embassy.  Though a counterattack enabled the U.S. regain the territories assaulted by the North, the reaction at home was so negative that support for American involvement in the States dropped.  This led to the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam and eventually the North conquered the South.
