Zaroff hunted people and it was creepy.

Zaroff referred to animals, ate red soup, and had a deaf and dumb servant.

Although Zaroff appeared sophisticated , he was really a brute who killed innocent people.

• The heads in the dining room, the red soup, and Zaroff’s red lips and sharp teeth are all examples of foreshadowing that create an eerie mood because they are hints at the hunt which is to come.

The name of the island, the strange deaf and mute servant, and Rainsford’s inability to identify the animal he heard in the night create an eerie mood because they remind the reader of the characters’ uneasiness, even though the characters do not know why they feel frightened.
