    Rainsford headed off and had spent two hours making his way across a bush all the while repeating the phrase, “I must keep my nerve” (Connell 11). Rainsford tried to keep calm in a terrifying situation because he wanted to live. He was being motivated by the idea of living so he kept persevering. Rainsford had jumped into the sea to get away from the General and it had worked because later that night Rainsford snuck into the General's room and challenged him. Rainsford ultimately won the game and won the privilege of sleeping Zaroff's excellent bed, because we can infer that Rainsford killed him (Connell 15). Rainsford took a chance and jumped into the sea because he knew he wasn’t going to give up without a fight. When Rainsford showed up in his room he knew the general would not let him leave so he challenged him in order for him to stay alive, again taking a chance in order to live. Throughout the story Rainsford had changed, leading up to this moment when he won the game, stayed alive, and killed the general. In the beginning Rainsford was motivated by the great sport of hunting, but then near the end Rainford's only motivation was to stay

    When I thought of this it was a tragic moment for me, I can tell you.”In the beginning of the story Rainsford thoughts about hunting was the best sport because in the story he says “We should make it in a few days. I hope the Jaguar guns have come from Purdey’s. We should have some hunting up the Amazon. Great sport, hunting.” “The best sport in the World,” agreed Rainsford. Rainsford also wanted to give pay back to General Zaroff because he killed a lot of people when they visited the Ship-Trap Island. And Rainsford was terrified of General Zaroff because he wanted to kill him and that human was the “NEW ANIMAL”. He tried to get away from him and he could survive and be alive! So Rainsford tried his best to stay alive and get through the forest without being killed by General Zaroff. In the end, Rainsford got back at general Zaroff by killing him back at the campsite where general Zaroff has his camp.Rainsford first conflict was with the sea because he didn’t know where they were going and there was a mysterious Island.

    "He came upon them as he turned a crook in the coastline... His eyes made out the shadowy outlines of a palatial chateau,"(Connell 17) is an example from the text that gives the reader a look into the emotions and suspense that Rainsford felt. However, as stated earlier, Rainsford is well-educated with knowledge of the outdoors as he is a big-game hunter. Rainsford is thrown into a one-sided game with a lunatic man; this itself is a reason that emotion plays a large role in the entire plot of any story. Rainsford may have felt demoralized due to the unevenness of the game. At first, Rainsford sticks to his gut and tries to refuse the game, however General Zaroff forcefully persuades him to commit by telling his that "the game is worth playing," (Connell 23) which can be seen as a threat. The tip off from Zaroff really forces Rainsford to play, because as both Rainsford and the audience can see, Zaroff is obviously a lunatic and won 't just simply let Rainsford leave after the opportunity has arisen. The emotion that Rainsford feels, being trapped into a corner with only one solution that is the last thing one wants to do, can be related to by any human whether it be through a similar event, or through any other relatable experience. As the hunt concludes, Rainsford is congratulated on his skills and instincts by General Zaroff, but due to the past three days of isolation, Rainsford has himself become a breed of lunatic and tell Zaroff that he is "A beast at bay," (Connell 34). The deed is done and the final battle has concluded, Rainsford is victorious, not only in the game, but also the conflict between himself and Zaroff. Rainsford claims Zaroff 's possessions and territory like a wild animal claiming its ' territory. Not only does this story use a classic theme, but creates a hybrid of its ' own that

    In “The Most Dangerous Game,” Rainsford finds Zaroff’s domicile after he gets stranded. Zaroff deludes Rainsford by playing the act of a hospitable character who offers food, clothing, and comfort. This role was one he played extremely well using his advanced intellect, obviously making Rainsford fall further into his trap. Zaroff opens his door to Rainsford and says,”It is a great pleasure and honor to welcome Mr. Sanger Rainsford, the celebrated hunter, to my home,”(14). It is later that Zaroff eases into telling Rainsford about his game. In, “The Smuggler,” Tasso shares just enough information to The Great Man so that he can make a case against the smuggler. He explained, “And yet you knew that our national football team had drawn with the English team? The game was played in London yesterday afternoon, after you left here… If you had been at sea twenty-four hours without a radio you could not have known the

    In the story Zaroff says many horrible things about the creatures he hunts, showing he has no mercy. In the story Zaroff states that, “Why should I not use my gift? If I wish to hunt, why should I not? I hunt the scum of the earth—sailors from tramp ships—lascars, blacks, Chinese, whites, mongrels—a thoroughbred horse or hound is worth more than a score of them.” by saying this, Zaroff is implying that he will continue to hunt humans until he is stopped. Rainsford knew that this would happen so he had to stop him. Rainsford was just protecting the different people that Zaroff would kill if he weren’t stopped.

    “I hunt the scum of the earth- sailors from tramp ships- lascars, blacks, chinese, whites, mongrels- a thorough bred horse or hound is worth more than a score of them”(25). Zaroff concludes Cossacks are on top of the hierarchy of civilization. Also, a thoroughbred horse or dog would be worth more than 20 human lives because of what he was raised to believe. By calling everyone except Cossacks the scum of the Earth he is expressing his emotions about civilization. In addition, he says people can reason after a fashion, so they are dangerous. If they are weak it’s an essential for them to be destroyed because “Life is for the strong and if need be, taken by the strong”(25). The general believes since people can reason they are too dangerous to live and their lives must be taken. Life is only for the strong and the Cossacks to live. Anyone that is tenuous is obligated to be eliminated by the strong for their amusement and pleasure. Furthermore, “I don’t wish you to think me a braggart, Mr. Rainsford. Many of the afford only the most elementary sort of problem. Occasionally I strike a tartar. One almost did win. I eventually had to use the dogs”(26). When the general is determined to win he will stop at nothing to get it done. For example, when he is almost defeated before RAinsford shows up he uses the dog to kill the guy so he win.

    Rainsford does, indeed, consider himself superior to General Zaroff. Both the General and Rainsford think they are superior to the other and make this obvious by the way they talk to each other. (SSVV) Rainsford and the General act as if they are better than each other. They try to one up each other every chance they get. (SSV) He also thinks he better after he knows when the General is an accomplice, and that what he does for hunting is wrong. (I,cI) I think some of these thoughts may come from him being an author of books that the General has read and he loved his books. “"I've read your book about hunting snow leopards in Tibet, you see.” Also, the General treats him with respect as if he is more superior than him, when he raises his hand

    In “The Most Dangerous Game,” Richard Connell uses man to man conflict between Zaroff and Rainsford to illustrate Zaroff’s disillusioned manner, and to show how this causes him to lose the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. In the story, Zaroff and Rainsford are discussing their love for hunting, and it becomes apparent that Zaroff is so obsessed with hunting that he will literally murder people to satisfy this “hunger” he has. Soon, their conversation escalates into even higher levels when Zaroff suggests that he and Rainsford face off in a hunt; a “game.” He wants to literally hunt Rainsford to the death. He proposes that Rainsford will go off on the island, and later on he will follow. After three days, if Rainsford has

    Rainsford is first introduced as an unwavering, unapologetic character who is determined to kill his prey, although when he is first introduced to Zaroff’s “new animal” to hunt for sport, he is riddled with angst (69). As the story comes to an end Rainsford’s character is, once again, a determined and impenitent character, which is evident as Rainsford surprises Zaroff in his room, asserting he is “still a beast at bay” (78). It becomes clear that Rainsford is no longer concerned with surviving the game, but killing his adversary. Rainsford clearly has no remorse (similarly to when he was on the yacht) after he kills Zaroff. When Rainsford lays down to rest the last thing he communicates is he has “never slept in a better bed”
