General Zaroff from “The Most Dangerous Game” has found a new interest instead of hunting animals, and he now hunts people.

Referring to the quote, it exposes how Zaroff tells about the prey and Rainsford got surprised. He even tells Rainsford that he hunts different types of people.

Rainsford feels sympathy for the animals, just as he was being hunted by a human. Rainsford is frustrated with General Zaroff games. Being hunted like an animal creates conflict and Rainsford “can’t believe that [Zaroff] [is] serious... This is grisly joke(27). In other words, he

Rainsford’s perspective on hunting changed drastically throughout the book, making him more knowledgeable towards the game he always conquered in.

Who cares how a jaguar feels?”(1) Rainsford never felt any remorse toward the animals he killed while attacking his prey, and felt as though he was the master of the hunt. A situation came across when Rainsford realized that their lives are just as valuable as his.

You see, I read all books on hunting published in english, French, and Russian. I have passion in my life Mr. Rainsford, and it is to hunt.” (Connell 221-222) Then the reason why rainsford stayed was because he probably wanted to hear what he said about his book or just because he read it which was not smart that rainsford was not thinking and he didn 't know anything about him or what he does besides hunt he probably thinks that General Zaroff is a very good and handsome man. Think that Zaroff is a very intelligent man and is controlling because that 's all he does is drags them in and then takes them out, which means that he is going to kill them and not tell anyone of his family or else.
