Rainsford gets scared because somehow Zaroff got in the room. “I just came here to say congratulations, you won the game.” Rainsford seems surprised and he said, “Thank you” Zaroff said “Don’t seem so surprised.” Rainsford wanted to know why he’s still here. Zaroff wouldn’t leave the room it seems like he was waiting for something it made me very suspicious, so I keep an eye out for anything. Then something came out of nowhere it was this kind of smoke I couldn’t see anything and then when it went away Zaroff wasn’t there and a note was there it this isn’t over just, yet I will beat you and you will die. I stared to worry and look for my weapons I was trying to get prepared. I should have seen this coming he was acting really weird. I need …show more content…
I have one weapon in my hand. I went under the bed and tried to be quiet. Then Zaroff kicked in the door and said“come on out Rainsford I know you’re in here.” When Zaroff got close to the bed I reached out my hand out and tripped him I hurry up and got up I ran, and I tried to hide really fast, but I could hear Zaroff coming up near where I was. I didn’t know what to do so I hide behind a bookshelf and found something to throw and I threw it across the room to make him think that I was there he went to where the noise was I quietly, but I hurried up I didn’t want him to catch me, so I tried to find a place to hide and, so I went in to the kitchen and hide in there. I was trying to think of what I could next, and my brain wasn’t thinking fast enough I was trying really hard to think of something then in the corner of my eye I seen a smoke bomb. I then got an idea it was when he walks in here I will through it and then I will kill him. The only thing I had to do was wait for Zaroff to walk on, so I could get …show more content…
I looked at him and said, “how did you get past the hounds” Zaroff then said, “it was easy I know this place really well I know how to get past hounds I have lived here for so long.” I stared to freak out then I said to him “come on Zaroff lets just forget this ever happened and we can both live lets sat this is the end” Zaroff look at me with a big smile on his face and said “don’t you get it there can only be one of us to survive why can’t you see that and I’m not going to be the one to die so that means you the only one left.” Rainsford’s trying to think of something to say then he says “Look Zaroff we can change the rules it doesn’t have to be where only one of us lives neither of us has to die.” Zaroff then says, “I see your point, but the thing is I like how the rules are right now because I always win and always will win.” Right after Zaroff said that the hounds broke in the door and got to Zaroff whn they stared to go after Rainsford he was starting to kill them but there was to on Zaroff just killing him. After Zaroff was dead Rainsford killed those two
Firstly, general Zaroff has a very attractive and compelling presence which masks his evil nature. After Rainsford knocks on the door and it opens general Zaroff immediately shakes Rainsford’s hand to make him feel welcome. At first general Zaroff seems like a kind, intelligent and pleasant man. The narrator says, “Rainsford’s first impression was that the man was singularly handsome; his second was that there was an original, almost bizarre quality about the general’s face” (Connell 4). This statement indicates that since the general was very handsome it makes Rainsford feel very welcome.
He was defending himself by killing Zaroff. It is highly understood that one should not kill but what would you do if someone was hunting you and trying to kill you? Would you let them or would you kill them to save
Zaroff then walked past Rainsford and stopped then to turn around. When Zaroff walked past Rainsford, he was in a tree. Right after Rainsford made the loops and paths he found a tree, made a leap so he wouldn’t lead Zaroff up it and climbed up in it to hide from Zaroff. After getting into the tree he extended out to rest, which “brought him new confidence and almost a feeling of security”.
He honestly wanted to befriend Rainsford, but once things go opposite of how he wanted, he decides to try to kill him. Zaroff believes that he is the top of the food chain, above humans that he considered “scum of the Earth”. Zaroff is not well mannered or respectful when it comes to fellow humans. Zaroff even captures humans and keeps them
Get ready, General Zaroff." So that proves that Rainsford and Zaroff were enemies until the
Zaroff had this theory that Rainsford was trying to kill him and he was right but for a good reason. Rainsford walked up to the
Zaroff reveals that he intends to hunt Rainsford, since he finds hunting
When Rainsford hears Zaroff say this, he realizes that Zaroff is a man hunter. So, Zaroff gave Rainsford a head start into the forest and then he would go hunt him. Rainsford had many challenges ahead of him, the top challenge he wanted to achieve was to stay alive, the next one was to survive in the forest. Day after day Zaroff was getting closer and closer to Rainsford, but Rainsford had a plan, he would build a trap to capture/kill Zaroff. Whenever one of the traps failed, his new challenge was to make a trap and hope that Zaroff would take the bait.
He is now not a hunter, but the hunted. He must now face the struggle of trying to hide, run, and defend himself from getting killed from Zaroff. But what Zaroff dosen`t know , is that Rainsford is a lot smarter than
After three days of vigorously averting from his hunter, Rainsford understands that General Zaroff’s guard is down due to Zaroff’s misconception of Rainsford falling to his death; Consequently, Rainsford sneaks into Zaroff’s house and they fight to the death. At the end of the story, Connell writes, “[Rainsford] had never slept in a better bed,” suggesting Rainsford was victorious in the final
Also, General Zaroff is an extreme hunter and doesn’t find pleasure in hunting regular animals. Zaroff says the most dangerous game is humans because they have the ability to reason. Rainsford is going to be hunted and is given a certain amount of time to survive. Moreover, while Rainsford is being hunted Zaroff
However, he is now ready to fight to the death, which shows that his opinion has changed. That just makes him no better than Zaroff “the murderer”. It seems as if Zaroff has passed on his role to Rainsford and he is now the new Zaroff. How else can he sleep so well if he feels remorse over killing a fellow human? Zaroff told him he could leave the island if he won but he stays.
He soon finds shelter and meets a Russian hunter named General Zaroff. Zaroff arrogantly explains to Rainsford on how hunting has bored him, as he has never lost a fight against an animal. He then explains he hunts humans, as they can reason. Zaroff challenges Rainsford to a hunting battle, and when he loses, he realizes that he’s not the best hunter. The first point of pride was when Zaroff is boasting about how he’s never lost a fight to an animal before.
The other will sleep in this very excellent bed. On guard, Rainsford.’” Then the text states that Rainsford has never slept in a better bed.
