Negation Paragraph For Rainsford's Killing General Zaroff

In the Most Dangerous Game; one of Rainsford's traps which he created to increase the likelihood of his survival, kills Ivan, “The baying of the hounds stopped abruptly, and Rainsford's heart stopped too. They must have reached the knife… he saw in the shallow valley that General Zaroff was still on his feet. But Ivan was not.” If Rainsford hadn’t of set the trap and killed Ivan, the hounds would have killed him. This shows that Rainsford is willing to kill others if it means his own survival. In a normal world, Rainsford would have never created a trap with the intent of killing a human.

Rainsford doesn’t just go through external conflicts he also goes through internal conflicts which show some of his character traits. Rainsford is faced with an internal conflict, a decision either participate in Zaroff's devious game or to be handed over to Ivan. “The Choice rest entirely with you. But may I not

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

Sanger Rainsford manages to beat General Zaroff at his own twisted game. It seems like all hope is lost, but not for Rainsford. He proves he can do whatever it takes to survive against all odds and he can push through even the toughest of situations. The key to Rainsford’s survival comes from his many survival skills; his true bravery shines through as General Zaroff comes closer to killing him, he is extremely clever; he can act fast when needed and he remains level headed through it all.

     Rainsford is certainly a brave character. ‘“Hunting, Good God, General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder” (110). Rainsford is composed until he figures out that Zaroff’s new species is human beings. Rainsford has just met this man, doesn’t know where he is or anything about those people but he still puts his foot down. Rainsford knew it was murder, and so did Zaroff, but it was brave for Rainsford to tell him he would not keep a secret of what Zaroff was doing and Rainsford demanded to be taken home immediately. Rainsford was brave to tell Zaroff, straight forward, that he would not participate in his game. ‘“Ivan,” he said to Rainsford, “will supply you with hunting clothes, food, and a knife”’ (170). Rainsford was now in the game and had to participate. His bravery came out when a three day duel was forced against his will.

Rainsford was justified in killing General Zaroff. For instance General Zaroff said “Your brain against mine, Your woodcraft against mine.” (Connell 6). This shows that General Zaroff gives right to rainsford to try and outsmart him and try to win by surviving. If rainsford outsmarts him then he will get the victory or he can do what Zaroff wanted to do to him which was kill him. Also Rainsford disagreed when Zaroff told him about the hunting game. “No,General,”he said “I will not hunt.” Then Zaroff basically said he had to or ivan will kill him.(Connell 9).This quote means that Rainsford did not like the idea that he had to stay in a jungle and

Rainsford was justified for killing General Zaroff because what General Zaroff did to Rainsford and the previous sailors wasn't right. When Rainsford and General Zaroff were talking Rainsford told General Zaroff “civilized? And you shoot down men”(connell 3) this quote means that General Zaroff has hunted other sailors before.

In the short story” The Most Dangerous Game,” Rainsford was justified in killing General Zaroff.

Rainsfords is panicked and running for his life, he's also scared of what General Zaroff will do to him when he catches him. Rainsfords force himself towards the gap between these two trees. He got closer to gap to see open water, and then he went to for it, he jumped. ‘“I am still a beast at bay, Rainsfords said, in a low hoarse voice, Rainsfords said this after he jumped off the cliff and swam back to the land. As he swam back he seen a big house, he walked closer to it and seen General Zaroff.

He stumbled across a mansion where he found General Zaroff with his servant Ivan living. The character Rainsford’s calm, clever personality is created through dialogue, appearance and action.

Rainsford talks himself out of a panic by saying. “I will not lose my nerve.

Was Rainsford justified in killing Zaroff? No,Zaroff was the one who got killed. As Zaroff was walking in the jungle and started to hear weird noises and he saw Rainsford and asked what are you doing? After all Rainsford said “Every day I hunt, and I never grow bored now, for I have quarry with which I can match my wits.” When he was walking through the woods after he was done talking to Rainsford he felt like he had something and he did he had a he had a knife and pistol and was nervous.”Every day i hunt, and I never grow bored now, for I have quarry with which I can match my wits.” this means he was telling Zaroff that he hunted everyday and to beawar of it.Rainford was the one killed Zaroff because he hunted everyday and have a knife and

In the short story ”The Most Dangerous Game”, Rainsford was justified in killing General Zaroff. General Zaroff was a hunter who lived on an isolated island where he hunted stranded humans. Rainsford was also a hunter, who had been stranded on the island. General Zaroff intended to hunt Rainsford, which lead to Rainsford effort to survive. The only way for Rainsford to survive was to kill General Zaroff.

Hunting is a sport that requires an enormous amount of dexterity. General Zaroff and Sanger Rainsford are the two best hunters in the world. Zaroff and Rainsford are on a remote island together and Rainsford can only leave once he has won the game. General Zaroff and Rainsford are two intelligent hunters with great and enhanced abilities.

The second reason why Rainsford is a hypocrite is because he tells General Zaroff that hunting humans is murdering them. While the two men are talking, Rainsford makes a comment saying that he is a hunter, not a murderer. In reality, hunting animals for enjoyment is also murdering them, which Rainsford is widely known for. The third reason and most important reason why Rainsford is a hypocrite is because he is against murdering humans, even though he kills two people. Rainsford tells General Zaroff, while they are sitting at the dining room table, that what the General is doing to the sailors is murdering them and that he is against murder. Then, later in the story, Rainsford murders Ivan and General Zaroff, with little remorse. Other readers might believe he killed them out of self defense, but I believe he doesn’t. Rainsford had the option of not killing either of the men. General Zaroff offered to make peace at the end, but instead of taking it, Rainsford murders him. Rainsford didn’t have to create the trap that killed Ivan, but he

On the other hand, Rainsford is faced by an opponent who was a survivor of the Czar overthrow, General Zaroff. However, he continues to pursue social acceptance through his favorite sport. He has to learn the survival skills because he ends up on an island that depends on hunting and he is the hunted. Consequently, each of the characters faces a moral dilemma.
