The Merriam-Websters defines suspense as "a feeling or state of nervousness or excitement caused by wondering what will happen." In "The Most Dangerous Game," by Richard Connell, the author's use of choice of setting details, choice of foreshadowing, and, most of all, irony create suspense in the story. 
<span>In the short story, "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell, the author uses setting details to create suspense in the story. The story takes places in a tropical island in Caribbean Sea known as "Ship-Trap Island." An island where Sailors have a curious dread. The author then reveals another setting "the jungle" where Rainsford will later discover he will be running through and try escaping Zaroff insane persona. Walking along the shore Rainsford find himself face to face with an enormous building; Zaroff house, where later he meets General Zaroff. The chosen name used for the island are what makes the island more suspenseful. "Ship-trap island" gives it away; that somewhere along that line sailors get trap in the island with no escape. </span>
<span>The use foreshadowing also creates suspense in the story. In the beginning of the story, when Rainsford and Whitney are talking, and Whitney says "Sailors have a curious dread of the place. I don't know why. Some superstition--" the reader than can make out that something is going to happen. Especially the use of word that Connell used to describe the night; "moonless Caribbean night," "moist black velvet" " dank tropical night that was palpable...," which makes a better than ... view for the reader about why sailors have a "curious dread of the place." </span>
