“The Most Dangerous Game” Virginia Anderson
“But it was no mirage, he found, when he opened the tall spiked iron gate. The stone steps were real enough; the massive door with a leering gargoyle for a knocker was real enough; yet about it all hung an air of unreality.” From this section we can infer that the protagonist is very curious because he wasn’t if he wasn’t he wouldn’t have gone up to the house. This section also shows that Rainsford is courageous because he wasn’t terrified as he went up to the house.
“The lights of the château were out now, and it was dark and silent, but there was a fragment of sallow moon, and by its wan light he could see, dimly, the courtyard; there, weaving in and out in the pattern of shadow, were black, noiseless forms; the hounds heard him at the window and looked up, expectantly, with their green eyes. “ From this section we can infer that the protagonist is very curious about the dogs because of how he was described looking out at the dogs. Rainsford also seemed to be fearsome of the dogs because they looked at him all at once with their green eyes.
