Answer and Explanation:

"The Most Dangerous Game" is a short story by author Richard Connell. Its plot revolves around the face-off between two hunters, Rainsford and Zaroff. The narrator unveils the events from a third-person omniscient point of view. Even though he does not linger on the description of feelings, the narrator is constantly revealing the characters' thoughts, as we can see in the excerpts below:

"It's so dark," he thought, "that I could sleep without closing my eyes; the night would be my eyelids--"

"Mirage," thought Rainsford. But it was no mirage, he found, when he opened the tall spiked iron gate.

General Zaroff had an exceedingly good dinner in his great paneled dining hall that evening. With it he had a bottle of Pol Roger and half a bottle of Chambertin. Two slight annoyances kept him from perfect enjoyment. One was the thought that it would be difficult to replace Ivan; the other was that his quarry had escaped him; of course, the American hadn't played the game--so thought the general as he tasted his after-dinner liqueur.

Because of this perspective, the narrator can let us know the characters a bit better than a third-person limited would. We have glimpses of their minds, we get a sense of their personalities. Much is developed through their dialogues, that is true, but it is their thoughts that help us anticipate actions and behaviors.

Which two parts of this excerpt from mary shelley’s frankenstein reveals information about the setting? (it was on a dreary night of november that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils.) with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, (i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out) when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. (how can i describe my emotions at this catastrophe), or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care i had endeavored to form? his limbs were in proportion, and i had selected his features as beautiful. beautiful! great god! (his yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; ) but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.
