Answer:
Explanation:
The plot of Richard Connel's story, 'The Most Dangerous Game' is fairly simple. Experienced big game hunter Rainsford is stranded on the private island of the eccentric General Zaroff. Zaroff initially welcomes his unexpected guest and hosts a sumptuous meal for Rainsford. Over dinner, the two discuss their mutual love of hunting. Rainsford seems to view his animal victims as only animals, who have no fear or panic reaction to being hunted. This opinion is soon to come back to haunt him. At the end of their elegant meal, Zaroff reveals that he has solved the problem of boredom with traditional game by hunting human men. Though Rainsford is shocked, he has a spark of understanding that a savvy, intelligent prey would be fascinating. Unfortunately, in this case, Rainsford himself will be the prey. The game here is that Zaroff has three days to bring Rainsford down. If Rainsford can elude the hunter for that amount of time, he will be set free. From the tone of the conversation, it's clear that Zaroff has complete confidence that he will be the victor in this contest. The general also has the assistance of his servant Ivan and a pack of large, aggressive dogs. Rainsford will have to use all of his skill and remain calm if he is to have any chance of surviving.
