It can be inferred that Rainsford was very afraid of Zaroff. He was also afraid of dying. However, Rainsford preserved and kept himself together. Rainsford actively participated in Zaroff’s game.

    How Did Rainsford Kill General Zaroff

    Rainsford wants to defend himself, which is why he would execute General Zaroff. Perhaps the most obvious piece of evidence states "Good God, General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder,"(lines 381-382). To spice it up, instead of hunting animals, General Zaroff hunts humans, and chases them. Rainsford thinks that it is a joke. General Zaroff has humans in his basement waiting for the hunting game to begin. It is clear that since he kills humans, he will probably kill Rainsford. In order to stop this 'dangerous' game, Rainsford has to kill General Zaroff. This also supports that he killed General Zaroff because he wanted to save the peoples lives that were about to die for no reason. One of the most damaging pieces of evidence is "The fellow…

Mr. Rainsford claimed they hunted humans on this island. Rainsford then says Zaroff forced him into being hunted. During the period of the 3 nights he managed to evade Zaroff, alleged hunter.

    Hunter In Richard Connell's 'The Most Dangerous Game'

    The two men don’t feel bad for hunting and taking their prey’s life. As shown when Rainsford remarks, “Who cares how a Jaguar feels, (1)”. Also, how General Zaroff who has already taken many animals lives, then proclaims, “I had to invent a new animal to hunt,” (8). Both examples show how both Rainsford and Zaroff show no empathy for murdering the animals as well as the humans. Therefore, Zaroff and Rainsford alike in the way they hunt. Another way Zaroff and Rainsford are alike is their belief that the world is divided into two classes. Zaroff’s theory being the world is divided by strong/weak. Zaroff states his opinion, “Life is for the strong...The weak were put here to give the strong pleasure,” (9). As for Rainsford’s perspective, he believes, “The world is made up of two classes, the hunted/huntee.” Both men believe that in the world, you're either one or the other. Furthermore, both men show identical qualities after Rainsford kills Zaroff when he sleeps in his bed, “He had never slept in a better bed.” (16). This shows that Rainsford now believes he has the power that Zaroff once had and accepts that he is now like Zaroff. In addition, they both are alike because when…
