Terms in this set (6)EXPOSITION The exposition of a story is its beginning where the characters and setting are introduced. In Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game," the story begins on a ship in the Caribbean that's destination is Rio. Here we are introduced to Rainsford, the protagonist and a skilled hunter and author. CONFLICT: : A conflict in a literary work is a struggle between opposing forces. The main conflict of "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell is revealed when Rainsford discovers the presence of Zaroff on Ship Trap Island. Zaroff wishes Rainsford, whom he knows is a skilled hunter, to be his hunting partner. Once Rainsford discovers that Zaroff hunts humans, however, he quickly refuses to participate in the barbarous act. Zaroff, seriously offended, decides to hunt Rainsford himself. Zaroff says to Rainsford, "You'll find this game worth playing...Your brain against mine. RISING ACTION The rising action in a literary work is all the events that lead to the climax where the conflict is intensified. In "The Most Dangerous Game," the rising action is everything that happens between the revealed conflict and the climax. CLIMAX The climax of a story is its highest point of action, emotion, or intensity. The climax in "The Most Dangerous Game" begins when Rainsford is being chased by Zaroff and his hounds. Upon hearing the hounds close in on him, Rainsford "leaped far out into the sea..." (The Most Dangerous Game") off a cliff knowing it is his only chance at survival. In this moment, it is the climax because we don't know if Rainsford will survive the fall. FALLING ACTION The falling action of a story is the events following the climax that decrease in intensity. In "The Most Dangerous Game," the falling action begins after Rainsford jumps off the cliff in hopes of survival. After landing, he swims back to the chateau where Zaroff resides. Rainsford hides in Zaroff's bedroom, and upon walking in, Zaroff is shocked to see Rainsford alive. " RESOLUTION The resolution of a literary work is the outcome of the conflict. In the story, Rainsford tells Zaroff he is a 'beast at bay.' By this he means that instead of being the prey, he is now the hunter and Zaroff is his prey. Rainsford defeats Zaroff and sleeps in his bed.
