    General Zaroff In Connell's The Most Dangerous Game

    “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 Quotes

    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…

    Hunting In The Most Dangerous Game By Richard Connell

    In Richard Connell’s short story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” Rainsford changes his entire philosophy about hunting. For example, when Whitney disagreed with him about jaguars he said, “You’re a big-game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels?”(Connell). Rainsford believes animals have no understanding of what is happening, therefore, it’s okay to hunt them. He doesn’t care if they feel pain or understand death and shows no remorse. In addition, when General Zaroff set the hounds to get Rainsford, he “knew now how an animal at bay feels” (Connell). Rainsford has to run away, set traps, and continuously risk his life to have a better chance at surviving. He felt the way animals do when they are being hunted and finally understood…

    Hunting In Richard Connell's The Most Dangerous Game

    ‘You’re a big-game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels?’”(p.1, Richard Connell) So, which you would think he now knows what it’s like being hunted like the jaguar. But he uses his hunting ticks and outsmarts Zaroff, and eventually kills him and then sleeps in Zaroff’s bed that same night. I don’t believe Rainsford will ever revert back to his old ways of hunting, I think he will continue playing The Most Dangerous Game.…

    The Choices Made in the Dangerous Game

    Rainsford is still totally thrilled by the hunt. He has had so much experience in hunting that his experiences have led him to write a book on hunting. Rainsford is willing to spend time, and apparently large sums of money, to pursue his game. Rainsford sees himself as the strong, and he sees the animal as weak, non-intelligent target of his hobby. Zaroff, though he considers himself strong, sees hunting not just as a hobby, but as a way of life. The General depends heavily…

    Rainsford In The Most Dangerous Game

    In the story, The Most Dangerous Game, Richard Connell shows that Rainsford is regretful, anxious, and fearful. First, it is shown that Rainsford is regretful due to the fact that General Zaroff gives him the option to play the most dangerous game or be whipped by Ivan, to which Rainsford chooses to play the game. Rainsford tries again and again to fall asleep at night, but he is helpless with his choice replaying in his mind. “Rainsford could not quiet his brain with the opiate of sleep.” Second, Rainsford’s anxiousness is shown because he is uneasy about the thought of not being able to see the day after next. Although he is a marvelous hunter, there is a possibility that he may be no match to someone who is undefeated in assassinating humans.…

    This is a grisly joke. ""Why should I not be serious? I am speaking of hunting.""Hunting? General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder"" (Connell’s The Most Dangerous Game).

    The Most Dangerous Game Literary Analysis Essay

    This quote shows that the role of hunter and hunted are not set in stone; Rainsford realizes that he is losing a role that he had always assumed he would always have. He is big game – not a big game hunter. However, the fluidity of the roles of hunter and prey also works to Rainsford’s favor. After jumping into the ocean, Rainsford swims to Zaroff’s lair and confronts him in a duel.” I congratulate you,” He [Zaroff] said.”You have won the game.” Rainsford did not smile.”I am still a beast at bay”(15) shows the change in the roles of Zaroff and Rainsford. Rainsford infiltrated into Zaroff’s home and is now getting ready to kill the general, regardless of the fact that the “game” is over. It is what the reader least expects, thus a piece of situational irony because prey run away and get hunted down and killed by the predator Instead Rainsford becomes the hunter, and now his demands rules supreme. Zaroff was ambushed by Rainsford and is now at his mercy. He is now the prey, and the rules that he made while hunter are irrelevant. This situation was clearly different from page 11, where the general cheerfully informed Rainford that he was going to be hunted…
