The author employs literary devices such as foreshadowing, repeating identical phrases in opposing settings and the use of a cliffhanger ending to create tension and drama in the story. An example of a repeated phrase to illustrate contrasting situations is McTeague's repetition of the rhyme, "No one to love, none to caress, left all alone in this world's wilderness."
