Characterization is the process by which the writer reveals the personality of a character. Characterization is revealed through direct characterization and indirect characterization. Direct Characterization tells the audience what the personality of the character is. Example: "The patient boy and quiet girl were both well mannered and did not disobey their mother." Explanation: The author is directly telling the audience the personality of these two children. The boy is "patient" and the girl is "quiet."
An example of assonance in "The Most Dangerous Game" is the repeated short "i" sound in the phrase "he passed some tenebrous straits where the sea slapped loud against granite."
An example of flashback in The Most Dangerous Game is when Rainsford is being hunted and he thinks back to a time when he was in Africa.
One example of irony in "The Most Dangerous Game" is when General Zaroff, who hunts humans for sport, ends up becoming the hunted himself by the protagonist, Rainsford. This is ironic because Zaroff, who considers himself the ultimate hunter, becomes the prey in the end.

Zaroff is a demon with a santic plan of murder for innocent victoms.
