Frank Miller And General Zaroff Comparison

General Zaroff is similar to Rainsford because they are both intelligent, and Zaroff shows this in the story because of his up-bringing and past experiences. This is seen in the story when it says “I, luckily, have invested in American Securities, so I shall never have to open a Tea room in Monte Carlo, or drive a taxi in Paris.” (Connel 48) This proves Zaroff is intelligent because he foresaw the downfall of the Russian economy, and heavily invested in said American Securities. However, Zaroff is different than Rainsford because he is powerful, which he shows when he explains his quarry to Rainsford. An example of this is seen in the story, which states “To date, I have not lost” … “The most elementary sort of problem” (Connel 50.)This proves Zaroff is powerful, because he fears nothing during the hunt. If anything, he thinks it gets quite boring. Zaroff is also different since he can be described as serious, because of his history with the hunt. In the text, this shown when it says “Hunting was beginning to get boring! And hunting, remember had been my life. I have heard that in America, business men often go to pieces…” (Connel ?) This proves Zaroff is about the hunt because it has sparked a new, welcoming,

Rainsford was either going to get killed by being hunted or the pain from Ivan's whip. He technically had no choice in escaping death. Kane came back to town a son practically walked into the trouble and fighting. On the other hand, Rainsford's death was forced upon him and had to figure something out with no way

Among the list of countless similarities between both of the story lines is the characters. They are both alone and being hunted. Both protagonists use their brains to overcome the people hunting them. " Street- Full Shot- from KANE's point of view. It stretches out empty and dusty under the sun" (Foreman 318).

Rainsford was more justified in his actions than General Zaroff was. It is better that Rainsford killed General Zaroff instead of General Zaroff killing Rainsford.

A rather obvious conflict being that all odds seem to favor the villains, not to mention the fact that the main characters face their problems all alone. Will Kane must fend off Frank and his lawless gang on his own. Sanger Rainsford has to survive against one of the best hunters in the world, a man yielding a pistol and hounds, in a jungle with barely anything to help him. Another major problem would be the value of time. In High Noon, when Amy attempted to plead with Kane, he answered, “What’s an hour?... What’s a hundred miles, even?... They’d come after us. We’d have to run again. Long as we live” (Foreman 296). Will already knew what would happen if he ran, and he had already accepted the challenge. He had an hour — 60 minuets — to find deputies and prepare for the threat, the very real threat of Frank Miller’s revenge. General Zaroff explains his game to Rainsford saying, “If my quarry eludes me for three whole days, he wins the game. If I find him he loses” (Connell 14). Here, the General explains that Rainsford merely has three days to outsmart possibly the smartest sportsman of his time. The conflicts of time and advantage serve as the greatest trial in both

The conflicts in both stories are relatively similar. Overall, they both include death and antagonists with unfair advantages. "One almost did win, I eventually had to use the dogs" (Connell 14). This citation from The Most Dangerous Game refers to General Zaroff's hunting game. It means that whenever someone is winning his game, Zaroff cheats and uses his dogs to kill them. This is an unfair advantage because Rainsford is all on his own while Zaroff has help from both his

Both alone in different regions yet still hunted down. They are both settling scores at once with their enemies. Will Kane is being hunted with purpose for sending Frank to jail. Rainsford on the other hand accidentally landed on ship trap island and now hunted by Zaroff for fun. They both need to use their surroundings as an advantage and win that way by making traps and using heights as an advantage. Kane and Rainsford may be very similar but they're tactics of surviving are very different.

Throughout the movie, High Noon, and the short story, "The Most Dangerous Game", similarities and differences are displayed. Themes and different concepts are represented through actions as well as thoughts. Both storylines were easy to follow, but not boring. The similarities while comparing the two stories were equal to the differences while contrasting them. This shows that all stories have something similar within them, even if it seems that they have nothing in

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.

Without Rainsford and General Zaroff in both works, the theme of the hunters being hunted, would not tie into the story. Both of these characters make up most of the story and are an essential factor in it. For instance, Zaroff would have never known Rainsford when he showed up on the island if rainsford had not been a famous hunter. Zaroff had read one of Rainsford’s books, but if he had not, the result would leaving General Zaroff dumbfounded of who he was and not sparing his life for anything. In addition, the story and movie both contain many of the same events featured in the plot. Both productions include the section where Rainsford washes up on shore of the island and surveys it before finding a large chateau. The chateau belonged to General Zaroff. Without the finding of this chateau, there would be no storyline anymore which is why both the

"You'll find this game worth playing, "Your brain against mine..." (Connell 11). This quote shows that to Zaroff he didn't care who he hunted he found the hunting fun like a game. "They'll just come after us four of them, and we'd be all alone on the prairie" (Foreman 24). This quote shows that no matter where Kane went and how far he went Miller would come for him because he wanted revenge for what Kane had did to him. Both Kane and Rainsford were being hunted for different

Both of Rainsford and Zaroff are very intelligent hunters. When Rainsford is the prey he feels like he might lose at certain moments like the time when he was on the tree with the dogs but he pushes on and sets traps on the contrary cocky Zaroff runs into them. Rainsford and Zaroff similarly hunt as sport but Zaroff will take it to the extreme and start to hunt humans. Keep in mind this then foreshadows them going against each other and eventually Rainsford kills Zaroff and goes to sleep but i do think Rainsford becomes Zaroff or takes his place.Next is even more differences and similarities of Zaroff and Rainsford. Such as General Zaroff being a former cossack hailing from Russia however Rainsford is an American from New York. Second Rainsford is very sociable and kind of outgoing on the other hand Zaroff seems to like being lonely. Since he lives in a remote island with his bodyguard Ivan. Zaroff may be more intelligent than Rainsford but Zaroff’s arrogance let Rainsford escape and Rainsford was able to win at Zaroff's own

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

Firstly, Rainsford and Zaroff differ in their personal hunting styles or in what they hunt. In fact, Zaroff hunts people. Rainsford once said to Zaroff “Hunting? Good God, General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder” (Connell 64). This shows that Rainsford is proving to the audience that Zaroff is a murderer not a hunter.

He did whatever he had to do in order to survive. Furthermore, in the book Rainsford says, “Who cares how a jaguar feels?” This shows that Rainsford doesn’t have any feelings about hunting animals. However, Whitney tries to tell Rainsford that animals can feel things that people can feel too. General Zaroff was more savage in the movie than the book because in the movie General Zaroff had a crush on Eve and tried to impress her more by trying to be a better hunter than Rainsford.
