I have read the short story, “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell. In this story, Rainsford, a faimed author and hunter, falls off his ship and winds up on an island where he meets a man. This man turns out to be a former Russian General, General Zarroff. General Zarroff , it just so happens, is a hunter in his own but of a different nature. To escape the island he must outwit his host in the General’s own game of hunting.

Rainsford says there is no animal that uses logic and reason, and General Zaroff 's mentions the human. Zaroff hunts men for his personal pleasure. The antagonist in High Noon, Frank Miller, hunts men for revenge. His plan is to kill Will Kane, because Kane is the man that sent Miller to jail for murder. Although the protagonists of these two stories, Will Kane and Sanger Rainsford, each have their own lives, they both are put in similar situations, as they are both underdogs while their opponent has the upper hand.

General Zaroff’s characteristics tend to add to the actions in which he does. Being that General Zaroff has all the riches and the will for thrill he feels that he needs to act on his longings. Feeling the urge to hunt men now General Zaroff proclaims it is more thrilling and fulfilling. Oppose to most animals dealing with their on defects Zaroff feels that he needs more of an opposition. In denial of winning or not General Zaroff makes sure that his game is created so that the opposing factor would have a small chance of killing him.

In the Most Dangerous Game a man falls off a boat, swims to an island and is taken in by General Zaroff, the owner of the island. The general proceeds to tell Rainsford that he likes to hunt men for sport and that he will be hunting Rainsford. Zaroff sends Rainsford off into the island where he will haunt him. Rainsford wins the game but Zaroff goes back to his room thinking he has won.

He is so good, that he doesn 't enjoy hunting. In order to be entertained, he starts to hunt a different animal, humans. He hunts humans because he wants to be challenged.

a lurking humor ran through his deeds" Killing things just to do it for fun is not good it is pure evil. Like when buck kills Spitz. He kills him to show dominance not for food. If you kill animals for food that is different, that is how you survive in the wild.
