War. It can either make a nation or break one. The people who have died in war to achieve their principles of freedom are the foundation of almost every great country. Legendary places, nations, and homes are the outgrowth of fruitful wars that have been fought by people wanting to end injustice. Even though war can end successfully with freedom and justice, it can also end with brutality and loss of life.

Situational irony is defined as, “irony involving a situation in which actions have an effect that is opposite from what was intended so that the outcome is contrary to what was expected” this is used in some conversations between Rainsford and Zaroff. Meanwhile, dramatic irony is defined as, “irony that is inherent in speeches or a situation of a drama and is understood by the audience but not grasped by the characters” which is used when Rainsford and Whitney discuss hunting at the beginning of the story.
