    General Zaroff is uncivilized because he does not value human life. He constantly uses others for his own enjoyment‚ with no regard for their well-being.

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

    execute General Zaroff. Perhaps the most obvious piece of evidence states "Good God‚ General Zaroff‚ what you speak of is murder‚"(lines 381-382).
