Why Does Rainsford Need Zaroff

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.

He was able to use “a huge dead tree” that “leaned precariously on a smaller, living one” to build what is called a “Malay mancatcher” (12). While most people would probably just see two trees and walk past them, Rainsford was able to think creatively and put them to effective use. Even though Zaroff did not get caught by it entirely, the hunter was able to buy himself some time to move to a different area so that he could avoid the general. After he went back to treat his injury, Rainsford “took up his flight again” that “carried him on for some hours” (13). His resourceful thinking had allowed him to use even more time to put his plan for winning this life-risking game into action. Without this helpful asset, Rainsford might have been more prone to giving up and letting himself be killed.

Being lost in an island, hungry, and tired is not an everyday thing. So Rainsford being in that situation, had no other choice than except Zaroff’s generosity. Zaroff gave Rainsford clothes, food and, a place to sleep. Zaroff tells Rainsford to join him for dinner, and Rainsford went to the dinner room as told. Sitting down eating there meal. The two men’s starts a conversation and starts to talk about their lives. Zaroff learns a lot of things about Rainsford and so does Rainsford. Rainsford learns that Zaroff is a smart man and a hunter just like him, but Zaroff him hunting people is part of things that he hunts for. Zaroff on another hand learns that Rainsford is a pretty smart, educated man and lastly a hunter.4

When Rainsfords finds out that General Zaroff likes to hunt humans, he feels very shocked. Rainsfords what's to get off the island before he gets killed

but it wouldn’t do anything but put them in more danger. In “The Most Dangerous Game” Rainsford finds himself trapped on and island which leaves him to fight Zaroff. “A blue gab showed between the trees dead ahead. Ever nearer drew the hounds. Rainsford forced himself on toward the gap.

In High Noon, Harvey tells Kane, "Well here's what I want you to do, Will. When the old boys come, you tell 'em you want me to be Marshall, and tomorrow they can tell the new man they're sorry but the jobs filled" (Winston 300). After the fight between Zaroff and Rainsford in The Most Dangerous Game, Rainsford wins. If he really wants to, he could decide to take over Zaroff place of hunting. A reason why he might do this is because, how will he get off of the island? He doesn't know how he will escape the island. Zaroff has lived there for plenty of years and was still living and still in good condition. He most likely has a good supply of food

In the beginning, Rainsford doesn’t believe in the killing or murdering of humans. When Rainsford found out the Zaroff hunted humans he wanted to get off the island very quickly. Zaroff knew that the prey must need all traits and “it must be able to reason. ’”(Connell 27). Rainsford thought Zaroff was talking about an animal but he knew that animals couldn’t reason like humans could.

When they start to talk about hunting later, Zaroff talks about how he used to hunt since he was five, and then joined the army years later, hunting more animals as the years went by, until they became too easy for him. Zaroff then talks about an ideal animal, saying, “I wanted the ideal animal to hunt. So i said, what are the attributes to an ideal quarry? and the answer was of course, it must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason,” (8). Another is Zaroff mainly hunts for the wrong reason. When Zaroff has been hunting for most of his life, animals became less of a challenge for him, and decided to hunt for humans. Rainsford, who has also been hunting for a long time, was doing so to publish books and tell stories of what he’s done. Later on while they talk about hunting the next day, while Rainsford accused Zaroff for murder, Zaroff is endangering basically innocent sailors, and explains, “Sometimes and angry god of the high seas sends them to me.” When he turned on the lights to show Rainsford, he explains, “They indicate a channel, where there’s none; giant rocks with razor edges crouch like a sea monster with wide-open jaws. They have crush a ship as easily as crush this nut,” (9). So he uses a machine which no one could see, then crush the ship to bring them on to the

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

Yes, Rainsford was justified in killing zaroff.General Zaroff hunts people not animals and Rainsford states that it is murder what the general does, it's not hunting for fun as a sport, which is what Rainsford does. For instance in this scene the general has just pointed out that he doesn't hunt animals, instead he hunts humans. Rainsford says this. “Hunting? Great guns, General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder!” (Connell 5). My quote explains that Rainsford thinks killing people for fun is murder, which it is and the general just thinks it is for fun and that it doesn't matter that he is killing people. If Rainsford thought that what the General was doing was wrong and it would put other people in danger, he helped anyone that would have

Zaroff was fascinated by Rainsford and his work. Both were awestruck by big game hunting. Rainsford was beginning to find Zaroff as a true cosmopolite, but there was something that still bothered Rainsford. The two men commuted for a while and Rainsford was amused when Zaroff said that he was hunting more dangerous game than what Rainsford thought to be the most dangerous big game of all. Zaroff tells Rainsford that, although he hunted the big game, he had to stock the island himself. A little while later Rainsford was told by Zaroff that he hunted humans. He asked Rainsford to join, and Rainsford, scared, agreed. The next night Rainsford refused to hunt. Zaroff tells Rainsford if he didn't hunt he would become the

General Zaroff is from Russia and he is also a clever hunter with a lot of impressive fur. At the beginning of the story, Zaroff seemed like a very refined and polished man, but as the story progressed Rainsford finds out actually how sick and twisted this man is. General Zaroff created the island Ship-Trap to lure people into coming on his island and forcing them play his game. Unfortunately Rainsford is one of the unlucky few that gets lured into

Rainsford falls off a boat and fell asleep after he swam to Ship-Trap island. The next morning he wakes up, and follows a path that lead him to a massive building. General Zaroff opens the door and is pointing a gun at him. Rainsford told him not to be alarmed, as the mood calmed down general Zaroff let him inside. As they talk about hunting, the general said “Hunting tigers ceased to interest me years ago” he has a new animal. Rainsford said he will not condone

Rainsford was a skilled hunter and want to live any way so he made a trap for the general which was disturbed by his hounds at first. He attempted to build it again but this time, he himself became its victim and later succeeded in escaping from that. General Zaroff thought that his prey was dead but later found him in his house standing behind the window curtains. This shows the surprised ending of the story that the prey is still alive this shows that Rainsford has won the game as Zaroff congratulates him on having him in his room, “I congratulate you," he said. "You have won the game." He was probably honoring him and showing him the way to move out safely from the Island but the past three days have made Zaroffs’ prey i.e. Rainsford more hardened who may possibly want to take the revenge from his killer which is depicted from his words "I am still a beast at bay." This means his life never changed and the cruel hunt continues although he had learned the lesson that how the prey feels when hunter is behind it to kill. The ending line of the story further adds in his firm
