In Richard Connell’s short story “The Most Dangerous Game,” Zaroff’s aristocratic appearance and dignified manners mask his sini

ster, animalistic nature. Which line from the excerpt best provides a glimpse into his true nature? Rainsford’s first impression was that the man was singularly handsome; his second was that there was an original, almost bizarre quality about the general’s face. He was a tall man past middle age, for his hair was a vivid white; but his thick eyebrows and pointed military mustache were as black as the night from which Rainsford had come. His eyes, too, were black and very bright. He had high cheekbones, a sharpcut nose, a spare, dark face—the face of a man used to giving orders, the face of an aristocrat. Turning to the giant in uniform, the general made a sign. The giant put away his pistol, saluted, withdrew. "Ivan is an incredibly strong fellow," remarked the general, "but he has the misfortune to be deaf and dumb. A simple fellow, but, I'm afraid, like all his race, a bit of a savage." "Is he Russian?" “He is a Cossack,” said the general, and his smile showed red lips and pointed teeth. “So am I.” … Half apologetically General Zaroff said, “We do our best to preserve the amenities of civilization here. Please forgive any lapses. We are well off the beaten track, you know.” … Laughter shook the general. “How extraordinarily droll you are!” he said. “One does not expect nowadays to find a young man of the educated class, even in America, with such a naïve, and, if I may say so, mid-Victorian point of view. It’s like finding a snuffbox in a limousine. Ah, well, doubtless you had Puritan ancestors.

<span>"and his smile showed red lips and pointed teeth." is a good hint.

If you think about it, this line is the only one that would be used to describe an animal. 
You can ask yourself, what do you think of when you read that line. 
When I read it I could almost imagine a predator like a wolf snarling, showing it's vicious teeth. In effect, when he opened his mouth to smile it's like you're getting a glimpse into him and his nature.

What is the speaker's attitude toward the raven when he first flies through the window? How does his attitude change the longer
r-ruslan [8.4K]

At the start of the poem, the speaker does not consider the Raven important. He thinks that the bird by one means or another got away from its master and is just looking for a temporary stay. He portrays it in a teasing way. He really makes fun of the bird and jokes on it.


He accepts that the Raven will abandon him in the long run, and he is as yet feeling some entertainment amidst the poem. The raven’s squeal sounds to the narrator as “Nevermore”, which creates the echo and progression in the lyric.


However, he starts to guess about what implies by "Nevermore" which the bird utters rhythmically throughout the poem. The storyteller is starting to consider the dark bird more important. The Raven isn't an image of the narrator’s lost lady yet an image of death since the primitive years of yore. When we are younger we feel everlasting, since we don't know that we are mortal. When it strikes us that some time or another, we will bite the dust, we think that occasion is so far away that the day will never arrive. Or possibly someone will create an eternity pill before our turn comes!


The sonnet is about the manner in which we see our life passing in front of our eyes. At first, it appears to be diverting, sometimes charming, then a bit of terrifying, and at some point- like a major dark cloud hanging over us.


The Raven influences the speaker to recall his lost Lenore, whom he had wanted to meet again in a later life. All things considered, the speaker had been hoping that the tapping he heard at his window may be the phantom of Lenore, which is the reason the main word mentioned in the poem as he watched out the window "was the whispered word, "Lenore?" The name is trailed by a question mark to demonstrate that the artist is thinking about whether he is being visited by his dead lover. At the point when the Raven discloses to him he will see her "Nevermore," he responds with outrage and shouts at it to go away.


He questions as to whether there is medicine in Gilead? This is a method for inquiring religious response to the riddle of death, particularly as contained in the Bible. He further questions that is there any expectation of restoration? Furthermore, the Raven lets him know "Nevermore," implying that demise is only interminable obscurity with no expectation.

What does a journal written by frontier settlers most likely tell you about Manifest Destiny? what conditions were like during t
balandron [24]

A journal written by frontier settlers will most likely not mention Manifest Destiny much. This was an idea that permeated policy, but it was rarely openly stated, especially among common people. However, the journal is likely to mention some ideas related to Manifest Destiny, such as the superiority of Western culture.

A journal of this type is also likely to mention how life was at the "frontier" and how American Indians struggled to keep their lands. It would also outline the difficult situations that settlers faced, such as being alone, being exhausted and being attacked by Native Americans.
