 * 2) Ulrich and georg are both interlopers in the forest because it is realy home to the wildlife not them. The wolves take the revenge on them for taking over their home.

**How does the main conflict help to illustrate the theme?** the them (revenge) is illistrated in the main confliced becuase the land that they are fighting over isnt that great they just dont want the other to have it.

 * Simile:**

**Metaphor:**

 * "The roebuck, which usualy kept in the sheltered hollows during a storm-wind, were running like driven things tonight."
 * "We have quarrelled like devils all our lives"
 * wild tangel of undergrowth
 * a fierce shriek of the storm

**Personification:**
 * if only on this __wild night__
 * a fierce __shriek of the storm had been answered by a splitting crash__

**Symbol:**
 * "and you offered me your wineflask"- the wineflask is a symbol of peace and frienship
 * "Ulrich....snared in his stolen forest"- they are trapped in an age old feud.


 * Foreshadowing (give both elements):**

"The roebuck, which usualy kept in the sheltered hollows during a storm-wind, were running like driven things tonight." A storm comes and caused the tree to fall on the protagonists. Animals generally act strangely before a storm.


 * Irony:**
 * they finaly resolved a fight that hade been going on for ganerations but nobody will know that.

**Imagery:**
 * "On this wind-scourged winter night..."
 * "wild tangle of undergrowth, peering through the tree-trunks and listening through the whistling and skirling of the wind and the restless beating of the branches...
 * "...the idiotic chattering laugh of a man unstrung with hideous fear."

The theme, power, is apparent in the story by how Ulrich and Georg are fighting over a worthless piece of land, just so each can have power over the other. But nature is more powerful than either of them.
 * Describe the relationships between the class theme and the story.**
