Situational irony occurs in "The Most Dangerous Game" when Rainsford, an expert hunter, ends up being hunted throughout Zaroff's island. General Zaroff's aristocratic appearance and personality is another example of situational irony. Although he appears to be civilized, he is a maniacal murderer. Dramatic irony occurs because the reader knows about Rainsford's traps, but Zaroff is unaware of them. Verbal irony occurs when Zaroff talks about hunting a "new animal" but is really talking about killing human beings. I hope this helps!
