Short Story Of General Zaroff's Blood

Yes, General Zaroff “lost” the game because he was not able to kill Rainsford. On page 34, in paragraphs 11 and 12, Zaroff is killed by Rainsford and even though there is no explicit evidence that Rainsford did kill Zaroff, we can most certainly infer. When Rainsford leaps into the seemingly depthless ocean on page 34 in paragraphs three and four, Zaroff has lost the game, because he has not kill Rainsford while Rainsford has neither won the game, unless he survives. It is a difficult question and your answer could be either, but based on the terms and conditions of the game, I can conclude that Zaroff did indeed lose. The book does not specifically say, but we can infer that Zaroff was killed

In this story “The Most Dangerous Game” By Richard Connell there is a General named Zaroff who was a hunter. Zaroff thought the the most dangerous game was hunting people. The man that was being hunted was named Rainsford. He had fallen off his ship, and swam to the island, and then found Zaroff. There are many parts in this story, and I wanted to tell you about it. Zaroff has done this “hunting” thing for many years. Now there is one man that is going to stop him.

Often times war is depicted in a victorious, triumphant manner when in reality war is chaotic; full of destruction and death. In Stephen Crane’s “A Mystery of Heroism” and Ambrose Bierce’s “An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge,” we witness the harsh reality of the war and the common human reaction to the havoc. Fred Collins simply wants water, but the well is on the other side of the battlefield. Peyton Farquhar, a loyal civilian to the South, just wanted to help in the war but instead was hanged for his good-intentioned attempt to destroy the bridge to help the Confederates. Ambrose Bierce and Stephen Crane wrote “An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge” and “A Mystery of Heroism” to show the natural human condition in adverse situations.

As Rainsford was battling Zaroff he raised his fists, and they started punching each other. It was so brutal. Rainsford punched Zaroff right in the face. Rainford broke Zaroff nose and jaw. Zaroff knew he was in a fight with someone who had experience. Zaroff went for a body punch and snagged Rainsford in the ribs. Ivan juniour, who came from the secret hatchet in the castle. Iven junior let the dogs out and they joined the fight with Zaroff and Rainford. One of the dogs bit Zaroff’s leg and they bit the main artery. A couple moments later Zaroff was getting pale and died. Rainsford knew he had to act quick. He remembered that he used to train dogs in New York. He used some skills and trained the dogs. These dogs he had trained

The last trap Rainsford’s set up was made in a hurry. “He thought of a native trick he learned in Uganda. He slid down the tree. He caught a hold of a springy young sapling and to it he fastened his hunting knife, with the blade pointing down the trail” (Connell 27). Rainsford seconds later found General Zaroff looking down. Still on his feet as he reached the knife that Rainsford had set up. Looking puzzled General Zaroff found Ivan laying on the ground with the knife driven into his chest. He had done it again. His trap was successful.

At this point don't forget i am naked. Ivan put a gun up to my face and i was freaked. But a guy named general zaroff came down the stairs and greeted me in, proved me with clothes and food we talked a lot and come to find out he is a very experienced hunter and has gotten bored of hunting animals. He says there to easy and he wants a greater challenge. He like the excitement and challenge of hunting humans. He tells me of this game he has. He lets the human try to survive on the island, they have three days to survive. Either zaroff finds them and kills them or they survive and win the game, he has never been

“Get ready General Zaroff”. The general gave a satisfied smile. “We shall fight then, but first let’s have a drink. “said the general. Rainsford wasn’t surprised, so he agreed. Rainsford took his knife out his holster just in case the general decided to do something. Zaroff poured the champagne and sat down. “you are the first ever to defeat me at my own game” he said. Rainsford didn’t know whether to thank Zaroff or ignore him. “are you trying to stall general” asked Rainsford. “of course not, I just thought it would be nice to have a drink before one of us dies”, said the general. Rainsford looked at the general with a disgusted face. He got up took the knife out of his holster. General Zaroff turned to try to reach for his gun, but Rainsford

I woke up to the sun’s rays beaming down on me from the unclosed window. I had no idea what time it was, but it seemed to be early morning as I could hear the birds chirping. I stood up and stared out the window, recalling everything from the night before. The last few days are etched clearly into my mind, minor details fresh as if they happened seconds ago. Had I really killed General Zaroff, the hunter who could not be outhunted? I looked around the room, fully taking it all in. General Zaroff’s body was nowhere in sight, nor was any sign of blood. Perhaps there was a maid General Zaroff had that he forgot to mention? There’s no way to ask him now.

When General Zaroff came heard the loud thud, he rushed toward it. When he arrived, he saw Ivan lying there covered in blood. At this moment he cried and screamed out, “You will pay for this Rainsford!”

General Zaroff is an intelligent as well as insensitive hunter, who has no real ambition in life except to hunt. Yet, he has defeated all prey and now he doesn't know what to do next. He changes into a two-faced savage once he finds the “the ideal quarry ... It must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason”, keeping him occupied for as long as he wishes. You would think he is a “cold-blooded murderer, considering his life's purpose was to pursue humans, yet some points go against that. In mid-conversation with Rainsford after his arrival, Zaroff stresses, “I always got my quarry. Always. There is no greater bore than perfection.” Zaroff's realization on this fact caused him to seek quarry that could keep him occupied.

Zaroff finds him easily, but decides to play with him like a cat would a mouse, standing underneath the tree Rainsford is hiding in, smoking a cigarette, and then abruptly departing. After the failed attempt of eluding Zaroff, Rainsford builds a Malay man-catcher, a weighted log attached to a trigger. This contraption injures Zaroff's shoulder, causing him to return home for the night, but not before he shouts out that Rainsford laid a good trap that few hunters can make. The next day Rainsford creates a Burmese tiger pit, which kills one of Zaroff's hounds. He sacrifices his knife to make a Ugandan knife trap; Ivan is killed when he stumbles into this trap and the knife plunges into his heart. To escape Zaroff and his approaching hounds, Rainsford dives off a cliff into the sea; Zaroff, disappointed at Rainsford's suicide, returns home. While enjoying a celebratory dinner, Zaroff is preoccupied with two issues: Ivan would be hard to replace and that Rainsford had evaded his

How would it feel to suddenly go from being the hunter to becoming the prey? That is exactly what happened to Rainsford, one of the main characters in The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell. Rainsford was a big game hunter who accidentally fell of of his yacht. He swam to a nearby island, and there he met General Zaroff, a cruel man who hunts humans for sport. In exchange for release from the island, Rainsford agrees to be hunted by Zaroff. Consequently, Rainsford is a survivor because he kills Zaroff and wins the game. Rainsford is also a survivor because he demonstrates the qualities that a person must have to be considered a survivor. Although Rainsford is a survivor, Zaroff is not. To be considered a survivor, a person must go through a traumatic or life-threatening experience but still demonstrate resilience and determination.

Hunting-it is a dangerous sport. Many people around the world participate in this game, but what is the most dangerous on a rich, murderous Russian’s island. There he finds that he is going to be hunted and killed next by General Zaroff. Rainsford’s survival depends on his past experiences as a soldier and hunter, predate and catch.

Rainsford and Whitney were on a yacht heading to a land where they were planning to hunt jaguars but as night was among the boat, Rainsford heard gunshots and stood on the railing to try and see what was going on. The pipe Rainsford had fell as he stood on the railing and in attempt to catch it he fell into the water. At this point I foreshadowed he would swim to an island which he did. When arriving on the island, Rainsford being exhausted from his long swim took his rest. When he awoke, he began to search the island and he found a mansion. Rainsford was greeted by Ivan and General Zaroff at this mansion and although they seemed kind, Rainsford soon found out their actions were ones of murderers. Zaroff was an exemplemary hunter but he became

After the General allows small glimpses into his psyche, the fact that he is a disturbed person is temporarily forgotten about as the battle between him and Rainsford begins. In “Hunters in the Snow”, the situation with the shooting occurs early on, but the main focus of the story then transfers to the characters' and their issues for the remainder of the story. Rainsford is the typical hero: He is clever and moral, as opposed to Zaroff who is immoral. Though he claims to be "a beast at bay," Rainsford has now fully reverted to hunter mode, swimming across a small bay to Zaroff's chateau to arrive there before the general can make it back through the jungle.… out the shadowy outlines of a palatial chateau; it was set on a high bluff, and on three sides of it cliffs dived down to where the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows”. Rainsford claims that no animal can reason and when he realizes what Zaroff is doing, he calls it cold-blooded murder. Zaroff retreats to the chateau, assuming he has won the game. The General explains, "hunting was beginning to bore him," and reveals that he had to invent a new animal to hunt, one that must have "courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason. Rainsford survives, winning the game. A story, which relies on action, coincidence and surprise, is precisely the motivation that Connell needs to create a memorable commercial fiction. Rainsford is given the impression that General Zaroff is a wealthy and prominent hunter. "
