In Animal Farm the leader Napoleon convinces the other animals to turn on the humans. He also convinces them that whatever he says, no matter how ridiculous, is the rule. In “the most Dangerous Game” General Zaroff, the antagonist, hunts people for game

I'll kill you Kane! I swear it, I'll kill you! "(Foreman 297). This quote shows how Miller was going to hunt down Kane if it was the last thing he did. In "The Most Dangerous Game", in Rainsford's case, he was being literally hunted down on Ship Trap Island at the hands of General Zaroff, who is a hunter that used humans as hunting game.

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.

This is General Zaroff 's response to Rainsford when having a conversation about 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.

With the story continuing, the reader can assure that the traits of General Zaroff are correct for his purposes of sick pleasure. 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.

An important conversion early in the story of “The Most Dangerous Game” Richard Connell reveals what the protagonist Sanger Rainsford believes about hunting and life “The world is made up of two classes the hunters and the huntees.” Richard Connell develops a plot to test Sanger on his beliefs. As a dynamic approvable character, Sanger believes he is a hunter and doesn 't care how the hunter feels. His fellow hunter, Whitney, and Stranger were talking about how great hunting is. Whitney says “Not for the jaguar” Stranger follows by commenting “ who cares how the jaguar feels.” (lines 24, 26) this is because he sees himself as the hunter, not the “huntees”. This point is echoed when Sanger is in the jungle and being hunted by General Zaroff

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. Rainsford confronts Zaroff and sleeps in his room, we think that Rainsford has killed Zaroff somehow.

In Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game” , Rainsford is the positive force in a classic good vs. evil showdown against a psychopathic man-hunter. For example, Rainsford non - evilness is displayed when he declines General Zaroff’s “ We will hunt - you and I,” (10). This is substantial evidence towards Rainsford morals and integrity as a human. Based on the short story, a good and decent person would not want to hunt someone, it is an act of cold blood. General Zaroff shows his true wicked being when he makes the statement of , “ Let me show you my collection of heads,” (9).

Richard Connell both illustrated and demonstrated how both characters revealed their character traits of being, quick-witted, smart, clever, and malicious. In the beginning of “The Most Dangerous Game” Rainsford falls off a yacht and finds himself in a human hunting game where he is the one being hunted. Throughout this event in the story it begins to show how Rainsford had to use his brain to outsmart the general if he wanted to survive. Also while this event was taking place it demonstrated to the reader that General Zaroff was a vindictive, cruel, and smart person through his decisions he made. In Conclusion, both General Zaroff and Rainsford revealed their honest and true attributes in the story through major events that took
