It is an uncomon occerrence for somome to hunt another human. Richard Connel creates suspence throughout the story,"The most dangerous game" with cause and effect relatioships.
"I wish to go today" said Raisford. "Rainsford observed"...the dead black eyes of the general on him. General Zaroff's face suddenly brightened." (Connel pg. 30). Rainsford wanted to go, the only way he could go is if he hunted with Zaroff. Rainsford didn't want to hunt. By the look on General Zaroff's face, Rainsford could tell Zaroff was up to something. Zaroff had something clever in mind, Rainsford could'nt tell what it was but had the feeling it was something bad.
"If i wish to hunt, why should i not? I hunt the scum of the earth-sailors from tramp ships-lascars, blacks, Chinese, whites, mongrels-a thorobread horse of hound is worth more than a score of them." Zoroff was more into hunting animals, but as it went on, Zaroff became bored with hunting animals. He became facinated with hunting people. He hunted all sorts of people no matter what race they were. To Zaroff, a horse or hound is more important than a scum of people. Zaroff is now into hunting people more than animals. Hunting people is more of a challenge than hunting animals.
"I am still a beast at bay," he said in a low, horse voice." Get ready, General Zaroff" (pg36). Since Rainsford became bored hunting animals, he became hunting people. Zaroff wanted Rainsford to go hunt with him but Rainsford didn't want to. Zaroff had a clever idea in mind. His idea, very clever, was that since Rainsford didn't want to go hunting, Zaroff would let him go and hunt him down.
After almost three days of hunting, Rainsford decides that he is trapped. Zaroff keeps playing ming games with him.
