Explanation and Analysis:

The style of "The Most Dangerous Game" is typical of modernist literature from the period between World War I and World War II. The narrative's darkness and pervasive unease establishes pessimism about human nature, and this reflects the larger modernist trend of trying to reckon with humanity's potential for destruction in the aftermath of World War I.
