Sanger Rainsford Case Study

He is another example that the quote, "You are most yourself when you're alone." does not apply to him. Throughout all of the story, he is shown as honorable, and cunning. All throughout the story, even when he could have died or killed another, Zaroff keeps his hunter prowess and honor. "Rainsford," called the general, "if you are within sound of my voice, as I suppose you are, let me congratulate you. Not many men know how to make a Malay mancatcher. Luckily for me I, too, have hunted in Malacca. You are proving interesting, Mr. Rainsford. I am going now to have my wound dressed; it's only a slight one. But I shall be back. I shall be back." this shows us that Zaroff, even in the face of death, will still honor the person trying to kill

because they withheld material evidence that could have changed the sentencing part of Mr. Brady’s trial. Mr. Brady was not innocent in his crimes but the prosecutor held back and did not disclose ahead of time information on a confession and “due process requirements not only

I do not think Rainsford is guilty of murder because Rainsford was defending himself. What I mean by this is general Zaroff was trying to kill Rainsford in the most dangerous game. Even though the rules were if Rainsford wins general Zaroff will bring him back to the mainland, however, Rainsford wanted to stop Zaroff from ever playing this “game” again so no one else will die. Rainsford could not be accused of murder because if you compare how many Rainsford has killed and how many Zaroff has killed you will see that Rainsford only did this to protect himself. I know Zaroff killed many people because in the text it said that Zaroff uses the

Zaroff is purely unconscious, and has no compassion or remorse for his actions. His demented mind forces him to believe that it is moral to hunt all living creatures, when in reality he is actually murdering a human soul. The general is sadistic as well as arrogant. He is mentally unstable, insane, and he denies the fact that he is committing something as bad as what he is doing. According to General Zaroff, hunting for him has been consumed by boredom and he no longer sees hunting as a challenge. Consequently, he chooses to hunt a certain “creature” with a higher mental stability of the creatures he has hunted before.(Connell 21) As Zaroff became comfortable with Rainsford, he

General Zaroff is killed by Rainsford. Zaroff was killed by Rainsford because Zaroff had killed people for fun. Since General Zaroff did killed humans, karma came back around and he was killed. When Zaroff was hunting for Rainsford, Rainsford sets up a trap and it kills Ivan, Zaroff’s only friend. General Zaroff has killed humans that have their own friends and family. Ivan was taken away from General Zaroff as a sign of karma. While Zaroff is looking to kill Rainsford, Zaroff doesn’t know that Rainsford had a trap set up to kill Zaroff. When General Zaroff realized that he had been set up for a trap, he quickly moved out of the way. Even though Zaroff moved out of the way, the trap still hurt his shoulder. Zaroff had hurt other people during the past games that he had played, so he got hurt playing the game. General Zaroff has learned that what goes around, comes

General Zaroff is clearly not under control with his hunting habits. General Zaroff creates for himself, a dangerous hunting game. More dangerous than all the rest, an animal can reason and feel.This animal is a human. The general has gone over the edge. By following his instincts and making his desires reality, general Zaroff now has access to this dangerous game. He hunts and kills them with a pistol, disregards their feelings, and treats them like animals. Some people, such as Rainsford, have decided that obeying the law and sticking to the principles is better than following nature. Rainsford says,“Thank you, I'm a hunter not a murderer.” Rainsford chooses to be civil and lawful. Rainsford quite obviously has more control over his actions than the general. The general gives into his dark side and gives into his guilty desire to hunt animal that has reason, courage, and cunningness. Rainsford chooses not to because he knows wrong from right. But perhaps, when dealing with your human nature you must succumb to your darkest

The author shows that General Zaroff wants Rainsford to trust him through ethos because he uses appropriate language and tone to try to convince him. Showing his religious beliefs and using trustworthy language show General Zaroff’s reasoning for hunting. Hunting humans, according to the general, does not qualify as murder, but Rainsford disagrees until he himself murders the

I believe that rainsford should not be convicted of General Zaroff death. Rainsford was in a ship reck. As he was swimming in the ocean he seen an island. As he swam to the island he heard a gun shot as if someone was on the island. When he got there he seen a big house, so he knocked on the door and Ivan general Zaroff assistant answered the door and that's when General Zaroff was there standing. General Zaroff is a hunter and refugee who hunts men.

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

A major concern that contributes to such a broad estimate of units sold is the buyer behavior for the product type. Current individual purchasers of electric vehicles tend to come from household that live in suburban locations with a warmer climate, own two or more cars, and have a household income exceeding $100,000. From this Sanger can feel more at ease with these predictions because the market he will be serving fits this demographic perfectly, so if increases in units sold did occur they would be more probable to take place at Sangers dealership if he signs with Fisker.

He had never slept in a better bed, Rainsford said. The next morning the thought of killing someone kept on going through his head. Rainsford picked up Zaroff’s bloody body and dragged it outside. As he’s dragging it Rainsford takes it to the hounds and feeds the body to the hounds. Rainsford just stands still watching the hounds eat the body piece by piece All that's left is Zaroff’s mangled up body and Rainsford walks away like nothing happened.

Rainsford woke up to the booming sinfony of dozens of hungry hunting hounds and a satisfied look soon materialized on his face. With a prolonged yawn, he rose sleepily from the luxurious bed to find the body of General Zaroff staring blankly at the ceiling. He was the hunter, his hunter, that he had just murdered. Rainsford realised he had finally and truly won the most dangerous game. He remembered what the Cossack had said before their fight, “One of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds. The other will sleep in this very excellent bed.” Rainsford silently walked over to the window and gazed down towards the dogs below. As if know what Rainsford was thinking, the hounds barked viciously at him, salivating at their mouths. He ceremoniously picked up the still body of General Zaroff and threw him out the window with a crash! He put a fresh pair of clothes on while listening to the now satisfied canines eat their meal. determined he needed to get

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.

This case is of interest to both myself and society because Truscott was wrongly convicted based on the limited scientific knowledge available in 1959, and the police’s tunnel vision. They were so adamant on finding the killer that they became fixated on Truscott as the only suspect, and did’t bother widening their search. Because of this, evidence was tampered to frame Truscott. What happened to Truscott was a miscarriage of justice, which affects society’s confidence in the legal system, and it undermines the criminal justice system’s legitimacy.

Debated as one of the most misrepresented cases in American legal history, Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald still fights for innocence. Contrary to infallible evidence, prosecution intentionally withheld crucial information aiding MacDonald’s alibi. Such ratification included proof of an outside attack that would have played a major role in Jeffrey’s case.
