The Most Dangerous Game

The Most Dangerous Game was an intriguing story. In fact my favorite part was when General Zaroff saw Rainsford in the tree and smiled. But he did not murder him; he let him "play the game" for a bit longer. I like this because it emphasizes a bit more spice, it shows that typical is boring. A weird part of the story was when Zaroff told Rainsford that he hunted not only animals. He hunted humans as well, the catch was that Rainsford was going to be the hunted. Rainsford felt comfortable with hunting animals until the day he "became the animal"! It was considered a game, to the General at least. Rainsford then thought of the general as a repulsive, disgusting, idiotic murderer! Rainsford went in hiding as part of "the game" and Zaroff "hunted" him. Rainsford seemed knowledgable or informed of his mentality of his AND Zaroff's whereabouts. Meaning he knew many things about "the game of hunting". Intriguing enough the short clip varies immensely from the short story.
