    In Richard Connell’s short story “The Most Dangerous Game”, Rainsford’s mindset on hunting changes throughout the story as he begins to understand fear of the hunted. In the beginning of the story, the protagonist Rainsford shows no empathy towards the animals he has slayed, even going as far as saying, “Who cares how a jaguar feels?” (14). Convinced that hunting is the finest sport in the world, Rainsford casually disregards any thought about an animal’s feelings, believing that they are simple-minded creatures unable to understand basic emotion. However, as the story progresses, Rainsford himself becomes one of the hunted, and has the choice to either fight his best to survive the hunt, or to perish like all the others.
