The Most Dangerous Game

“Zaroff: Crazy and Demented” Zaroff, even the name sounds crazy! He is a wild and crazy male hunter who has a despicable sense of humor and a demented and heartless hobby. He is a careless and rough human being who I would have to assume is psychologically messed up, in smaller terms he is a very, very bad person! He has a twisted hobby which involves man hunt, torture, and worst of all MURDER! He hunts for human beings, he hunts them down and kills them, and what’s worse is he gets pleasure out of this. He keeps many humans or what he calls “pupils” in his cellar that he uses for his sick and radical games. He uses everything from dogs to guns to hunt for them and he also has a henchman that helps him and does most of the torture, but leaves the killing to Zarrof. This man is sick and I would say retarded in the sense that he doesn’t think that he will ever be punished for this. He does not comprehend the fact that this is murder and that he will soon enough be reprimanded for his sin! “The general laughed with entire good nature. He regarded Rainsford quizzically. "I refuse to believe that such a modern and civilized young man, as you seem to be harbors romantic ideas about the value of human life. “ ( ). As stated above Zaroff does not value life and doesn’t care for the life of others. One of the many reasons why he is mad man. “Pupils” this is what he calls the human beings that he has locked up in his cellar, when he is ready to play with them he lets them play in his twisted game. He gives them some food and a knife, and lets them run into the forest all alone. He gives them a 3 hour head start, before he goes into the forest to find them and kill them. "It's a game, you see," pursued the general blandly. "I suggest to one of them that we go hunting. I give him a supply of food and an excellent hunting knife…--- If my quarry eludes me for three whole days, he wins the game. If I find him "--the general smiled--" he loses." ( ). As he says it himself he gives them 3 days to hide well and not to get caught. If Zaroff does not find them they are free to go, but if he finds them he kills them and they lose. What is wrong with this man? He has a rock instead of a heart in his chest! Now what I personally think is the craziest and most ruthless part of this game, he uses not only weapons and guns, but he also uses dogs to help him hunt for the humans. He uses a living thing, a man’s best friend to hunt for a human a man! “Somewhere, off in the blackness, someone had fired a gun three times.” “It's a game, you see," pursued the general blandly…..---- I give him three hours' start. I am to follow, armed only with a pistol of the smallest caliber and range.” ( ) As stated in the sentences above he uses guns to hunt for them. “I eventually had to use the dogs." "Your Burmese tiger pit has claimed one of my best dogs” ( ). In these sentences he says how he uses dogs in order to catch the people. If this doesn’t prove he is a disturbing, gruesome, horrid, crazy, and demented man then I don’t know what does will!! In conclusion I believe I have proved with evidence why he is a bad man. The worst thing of all about him is his way of thinking things. He believes that he will never be punished for what he has done, but that’s when Rainsford came in. He put an end to Zaroff’s’ tyranny, he beats him in his own game. In the final battle the following is stated, “The general made one of his deepest bows.”I see," he said. "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, Rainsford decided.” ( ) Zaroff says that one of them will live on and one will die and sleep well tonight, in the end Rainsford kills Zaroff and says that Zaroff will sleep well tonight. I don’t condone murder, but Zaroff had it coming!
