It had been a week since Rainsford managed to kill the nefarious General Zaroff. The challenging part was almost over or so it seemed. There was not a clear way for Rainsford to escape. As days passed, Rainsford tried to escape. He tried making a boat from driftwood that he found, he tried swimming, he even tried sending a signal by using a flashlight. Rainsford had become so desperate that he even tried some ridiculous plans like trying to pole vault across the ocean. As a result, Rainsford ended up having huge gashes in his left leg ,which got infected, and he had to amputate it. As days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, Rainsford had lost hope and became bitter.

In Richard Connell’s, “The Most Dangerous Game,” Sanger Rainsford, a man who likes to hunt for sport, gets stranded on an island called, “Ship Trap Island,” after falling off his ship.

General Zaroff, who lives on the island with his own rules and thoughts of hunting, shares his ways of hunting the animal he finds the best to hunt.
