Compare And Contrast Rainsford And Zaroff

Even through Zaroff hunted, him later, Zaroff also treated Rainsford as if he was an equal because Rainsford was on his “level”. This made Zaroff more like a gentleman. Another reason why Zaroff is a gentleman is that he gave Rainsford a heads up that he uses hounds for the hunt, and he gave Rainsford a hunting knife, moccasins and a supply of food. He also inform Rainsford that he will bring him back to the mainland if he lasted into the third night. Another reason why Zaroff is a gentleman is he gave Rainsford an option if he wanted to participate in the game, what I mean by this is that Zaroff inform Rainsford if he does not wish to hunt, he could play Ivan’s ideas of sport (which is probably the worst) I knew Zaroff gave Rainsford a choice because in the text Zaroff said “the choice rests entirely with you” (he was referring to Rainsford). These are my reasons on why Zaroff is a

Rainsford, from the beginning, reveals his arrogance to the readers. “This hot weather is making you soft, Whitney. Be a realist. The world is made up of two classes - the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are the hunters.” (Connell 63). The context is that Rainsford is speaking with Whitney and he believes that the animals have a sense of understanding and fear, but Rainsford does not. Rainsford is impudent towards his friend by criticizing his beliefs. He is moreover conceited when he places himself in the higher class of society. The protagonist is being insensitive to Whitney and to the living, fearful animals, commencing the separation from morality, shown throughout this short story. The antagonist, General Zaroff, numerously illustrates his hubristic personality.

In “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell and “Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne both stories have very different themes. Brown is a man that has followed the right path all his life suddenly is challenged to face temptaion and ending all his curosity. He decides to go into the forest to face the devil. In Richard Connell's short story he centers his theme around how far peoople will go when they fear for their life, people will do anything to survive.

For starters, General Zaroff and Rainsford are intelligent hunters. “Rainsford remembered the shots. They had come from the right and doggedly he swam in that direction slow deliberate strokes conserving his energy” (pg 21). Rainsford quickly connected that the shots would led to people and also led to the island which is safer than the open waters. He was able to rapidly reason is a stressful situation. “I killed my first bear in the Caucasus when in was ten” (pg 25). Zaroff has a good deal of knowledge and experience when it comes to hunting because he has been doing it his whole life. Rainsford is the more intelligent hunter because he is quicker to reason and doesn’t underestimate a situation or an opponent.

In the short story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell, Sanger Rainsford, an experienced hunter, falls overboard from a ship heading to Rio to hunt jaguars with his friend and hunting partner Whitney. He swims to an island nearby called Ship-Trap Island. While there, he meets General Zaroff, an avid hunter who has grown bored of hunting animals, so he begins playing a game where he captures then hunts humans. Rainsford and Zaroff have many differences in their opinions and personalities that cause them to become enemies in Zaroff’s game, where the two fight to the death. Although they each believe the world is made of two classes, they have different opinions of who comprises those classes and where each fits in. Rainsford believes

In the first one they are both smart and good hunters which is why Rainsford could easily become the next general of the island. He already enjoys hunting and is good at it just like Zaroff. In the next example, they both don't care how the person on the other side feels. The example for Rainsford is the jaguar and he says he doesn’t care how it feels. He says this because he is the hunter and it is being hunted so he gets to do that and it doesn’t matter how the animal feels. Zaroff says a very similar statement that he doesn’t care about the weak people because he is strong and they are here to give him pleasure. These are very similar quotes showing that they both don’t care about anything lower than them. The final example shows that they both like killing people which was my other claim statement. All of these show similarities in personality traits of General Zaroff and Rainsford and that is why Rainsford will become the new

Both men are very intelligent, experienced hunters. However, there is one vast difference between the hunters: they have opposing views on what should be hunted. Rainsford believes that only animals should be hunted. Zaroff, however, hunts humans.

In conclusion, at first glance, it might seem that general Zarroff and Sanger Rainsford share little next to no difference, but after a quick analyze the contraire can be easily proven. For instance, they have different preys, different point of view of the game in addition they also hunt in a dissimilar way. Now , I wonder if I am someone’s Rainford or

In both creations of The Most Dangerous Game, the same events take place when Rainsford gets on the island. When he finds himself on this isolated island, he decides to go inside a massive building he finds, where he is greeting and taken in by Zaroff. This is important to keep the same throughout the story and movie because it all leads up to the hunt in the end. Without Rainsford going into Zaroff’s home, they would have never met, and the hunt would have never happened. Another similarity the book and film have together is that Rainsford wins at the end of the hunt.

In the story the most dangerous game the character Rainsford and general Zaroff are similar and different. One thing similar is that they are both hunters. Rainsford feels that there are two types of people in the world the hunters and the hunts general Zaroff believes that life is for the strong, this show that both character view world in block and while. Rainsford perspective change, Zaroff the general is a cruel person. Rainsford was knew what animals is going to hunting but

character theme it is no surprise how often Rainsford and Zaroff disagree with one another. These disagreements, and reactions to them, say a lot about each character. In the beginning, Zaroff explains how he prepares the humans he hunts, and likes to keep things in order, so he doesn’t mar their ability to survive. However, Rainsford doesn’t think highly of that idea of his. In the text Rainsford states, “Civilized? And you shoot down men?” (11). Connell uses this statement to establish that Rainsford isn’t as insane as Zaroff, and he believes what he is doing is wrong. Zaroff doesn't want to create a havoc when he hunts the sailors, so he tries to organize it more, thinking that makes him more civilized, but Rainsford completely disagrees. The fact that he thinks hunting men in an organized fashion makes it better completely baffles Rainsford. When Rainsford surprises Zaroff at the end they both decide that they want to obliterate each other, especially Rainsford. In the passage it says, “One of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds. The other will sleep in this very excellent bed… He had never slept in a better bed, Rainsford decided.” (19). This piece is used to indicate that although Rainsford changed his views on animal’s feelings he still is barbaric. Zaroff and Rainsford may make changes about themselves, but they will forever have a hunter’s, or decimating, mentality towards things. This is shown when they decide killing each other is the best option

Rainsford is more laid back, relaxed, and has a slower tone in his hunting. Whitney gets worried and states that he fears “The fear of pain and the fear of death”, and in response Rainsford

Rainsford as a character is underdeveloped. Due to his change of opinion about the game being hunted has no feelings at the start of the story, at the end he realizes that the game he hunts no matter the animal has feelings, whereas General Zaroff is more developed than Rainsford because his opinion on hunting stays the same from start to finish and he is able to defend his not only his“way of life” he sees the game having no feelings or fears.

For instance when rainsford gets to know general zaroff, and asks him about his hunting skills zaroff says “ Hunting tigers ceased to interest me some years ago.” This shows the confusion of the difference in their idea of hunting. This also shows the different and personality and character traits each one has. You can sense a difference when zaroff says “ No thrill in tigers, no real danger, i live for danger.” This shows zaroff never had an interest in hunting animals. This also shows zaroff lives for danger and he can't get that satisfaction from hunting animals. This proves zaroff is different from rainsford and he hunts humans.
