    Here is the evidence that support these examples. The first thing Rainsford did to outsmart Zaroff was to mess up his trail to confuse the General. “He executed a series of intricate loops; he doubled on his trail again and again, recalling all the lore of the fox hunt and the dodges of…

    How did Sanger Rainsford successfully outsmart General Zaroff in the manhunt? In “The Most Dangerous Game” there are multiple ways Rainsford outsmarts Zaroff but there are three main ways, that are my favorite. The first trap that Rainsford made to get Zaroff is a Malay man catcher. Then Rainsford sets a second trap that is called the Burmese Tiger pit that killed one of Zaroff's best dogs. Finally the last trap is where Rainsford ties his knife to a sapling branch with some vine. The trap didn’t kill Zaroff, it did kill Ivan though. These are my favorite three ways Zaroff was outsmarted by Rainsford.…

    Rainsford used reason to survive General Zaroffs incredible hunting skills. First, when he was let put to run for his life and hide he used reason and started “recalling…all the dodges of the fox” (Connell, 10) He ran loops and reran the trails to confuse Zaroff just like the fox did while he was hunting. Second, after weaving a troubling trail Rainsford had to “play the cat of the fable” (11). He climbed up a large tree, rested and waited. He ad a wave of confidence thinking that Zaroff could not find him, but the general was there, under the tree. He made it seem like he knew Rainsford was there but then walked away as if he didn’t see anything. Third, while finding himself sinking in quicksand Rainsford thought back to when he “had dug…

    The two men don’t feel bad for hunting and taking their prey’s life. As shown when Rainsford remarks, “Who cares how a Jaguar feels, (1)”. Also, how General Zaroff who has already taken many animals lives, then proclaims, “I had to invent a new animal to hunt,” (8). Both examples show how both Rainsford and Zaroff show no empathy for murdering the animals as well as the humans. Therefore, Zaroff and Rainsford alike in the way they hunt. Another way Zaroff and Rainsford are alike is their belief that the world is divided into two classes. Zaroff’s theory being the world is divided by strong/weak. Zaroff states his opinion, “Life is for the strong...The weak were put here to give the strong pleasure,” (9). As for Rainsford’s perspective, he believes, “The world is made up of two classes, the hunted/huntee.” Both men believe that in the world, you're either one or the other. Furthermore, both men show identical qualities after Rainsford kills Zaroff when he sleeps in his bed, “He had never slept in a better bed.” (16). This shows that Rainsford now believes he has the power that Zaroff once had and accepts that he is now like Zaroff. In addition, they both are alike because when…

    Rainsford begins to plot down what he will do to win the game, since General Zaroff has not lost any of them before, “The softness of the earth had gave him an idea” (45). In addition, General Zaroff has never lost to anybody, Rainsford gets ideas and plans to kill General Zaroff with different methods. Obviously, everyone in life has thoughts of giving up in a race or battle, “I will not lose my nerve. I will not” (43). Rainford, at this point, can not give up and will do about anything to win and defeat him. Consequently, Rainsfords motivation is to attempt to kill…

    Rainsford is a very tough person both mentally and physically. Rainsford shows his physical toughness by swimming to Ship-Trap Island. The reason why Rainsford even met Zaroff is because he fell off a yacht when he dropped his cigar and stumbled off of the boat. He was nervous so he just decided to swim until he got to land and then he remembered “A certain cool-headedness had come to him: it was not the first time he had been in a tight place.”(15). Rainsford got all the way to Ship-Trap Island and he found Zaroff’s house and that is how they met. Rainsford also shows toughness by not giving up on going through the forest, “Rainsford had fought his way through the bush for two hours: “I must keep my nerve”, he said through tight teeth.” (26). This situation would take a lot of mental toughness because anyone could just have a nervous breakdown because they could die and it takes physical toughness because you could get cut up from walking through the forest for two hours. After Rainfords gets to the cliff he swims to Zaroff’s house which is very clever and brave. Rainsford also fights Zaroff because he hates what Zaroff has done. He kills Zaroff in the fight and this definitely proves that Rainsford is a tough man. Raonsford’s mental and physical toughness save him from Zaroff, who he has a conflict with because Zaroff is a…
