Explanation and Analysis—The Storm:
As Ulrich wanders from his hunting party at the beginning of the story, the narrative uses auditory imagery to vividly describe the sound of the woods around him:
He strayed away by himself from the watches whom he had placed in ambush on the crest of the hill, and wandered far down the steep slopes amid the wild tangle of undergrowth, peering through the tree-trunks and listening though the whistling and skirting of the wind and the restless beating of the branches for sight or sound of the marauders.
