8 0

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."

crimeas [40]

African slaves often used Christian hymns to communicate. The slaves used these hymns in order to communicate coded messages to each other about their conditions, and possible avenues for escape. The slaves' overseers thought that the slaves were simply singing religious songs and were not able to recognize the messages hidden within these songs. These hymns had an influence on the later musical style of the African American spiritual.
