Dangerous Game Analysis
Dangerous Game
Rainsford was hinted by Zaroff after Rainsford fell off the ship. Rainsford fell off the ship because he thought he heard a animal yelping or a person screaming.This story is a good story because there are a lot of mysteries that come up and you never know what's going to happen next. I agree that there are hunters and hunted in life.

Rainsford, Zaroff and Whitney were all hunters in the movie at one point. Rainsford is a big game hunter just like whitney but, whitney thinks animals don't have feelings. Zaroff and whitney are almost the same except Zaroof plays a game with his “victims” and hunts people. On the the other hand Whitney hunts big animals rather than people. “We should have some good hunting up in the amazon”.

The object of the game is not to get shot or captured. Just like me Rainsford was also being hunted by Zaroff in the end. “Rainsford held his breath, the general's eyes had left the ground and were traveling inch by inch up the tree. Rainsford also escaped Zaroff just like me. Rainsford was the hunted in the story.

The story is very suspenseful. In The story the “Dangerous game”, you never know what's going to happen next. In the story Rainsford was being hunted but you would never know where Zaroff was or when Zaroff would shoot. Rainsford can also relate to that because he never knew where he would want go next. “Somewhere is a large island said Whitney it's rather a mystery”.

    “Splendid! One of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds. The other will sleep in this very excellent bed. On guard, Rainsford.”... “He had never slept in a better bed”. (Connell 41) There were some of last few sentences of the story provided a somewhat cryptic ending. This meant that Rainsford had beat Zaroff. Since Zaroff was beat by Rainsford he won his bed. This also means Rainsford has won the hunt and is finally free and does not have to worry about hunting humans or ever being the prey again. The ending didn't tell you a lot, but told you some main things so you know and can put together with what happened next. All of these quotes explain how Rainsford outsmarted Zaroff and won “The Most Dangerous Game.”…

    Rainsford will not take over General Zaroff’s game of hunting other humans. For instance, when General Zaroff asks Rainsford to go hunting, he says, “Thank you, I’m a hunter, not a murderer.”(25) Rainsford classifies himself as someone who hunts animals, but not humans. He disapproves of General Zaroff’s game and most likely still does. In addition, while Rainsford is being hunted, he thinks, “The Cossack was the cat; he was the mouse. Then it was that Rainsford knew the full meaning of terror.”(31) Rainsford is truly afraid at this point just like other humans are when they are being hunted. He has had the horrifying experience and probably doesn’t want anyone to feel this fear. As a result, Rainsford is a gentleman and animal…

    "But as he forged along, he saw to his great astonishment that all the lights were in one enormous building- a lofty structure with pointed towers plunging up into the gloom." This scene describes the point in the story where Rainsford is on the island and sees the chateau. This quote lines up Rainsford to meet General Zaroff as he brings himself to arrive at his chateau. "There is no greater bore than perfection." In this scene General Zaroff and Rainsford are talking about their take on hunting when General Zaroff non-shalontly implies his psychotic opinion that it is okay to hunt humans by telling Rainsford how everything else has failed to satisfy his thrill. This quote shows the loss of interest General Zaroff is experiencing because he no longer finds hunting as a challenge. General Zaroff makes it clear to Rainsford what his interest on this island is and Rainsford suddenly finds himself in a life-threatening situation when General Zaroff wants him to take part in his…

    Rainsford is at first very obstinate but through his experiences with Zaroff throughout the story he grows and understands how it really feels to be hunted and he gains empathy for the animals. We see this throughout his actions during the hunt. Rainsford starts to feel genuine fear and terror as he waits to see if he will make it through the day, we see this expressed once he starts to hear the hounds on page 78. Only one page later on page 79 the author tells us Rainsford now understands how an animal at bay feels. By the end we can infer he no longer sees hunting as a game, but as cruel entertainment. Throughout the story we see Rainsford exhibit very knowledgeable acts for example, on page 64 he shows his knowledge in weaponry when he finds…

    A widowed father is tragically separated from his only son and must get back to him in an ocean of a world where he has to determine whether someone is a friend or foe. Going through dangerous districts and frightening enemies, and with a friend suffering from amnesia, the father successfully reunites with his son. Just like the reader is left in suspense wondering about how Marlin and Nemo are going to find each other in Finding Nemo, many authors use suspense to keep the reader interested in the story. Suspense is the excitement or tension that readers feel as they wait to find out how a story ends or a conflict is resolved. In "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell, "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allen Poe, and "A Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury, all three authors use suspense to captivate the reader's attention in their…
