Question

Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game."

"Nonsense," laughed Rainsford. "This hot weather is making you soft, Whitney. Be a realist. The world is made up of two classes—the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are the hunters. Do you think we've passed that island yet?"

Read the excerpt of Zaroff speaking from "The Most Dangerous Game."

"Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and, if needs be, taken by the strong. The weak of the world were put here to give the strong pleasure. I am strong. Why should I not use my gift? 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 thoroughbred horse or hound is worth more than a score of them."How do these excerpts show the difference between Rainsford and Zaroff?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The main difference between the two characters concerns Zaroff's adrenaline for hunting humans. Zaroff is a hunter, who enjoys chasing humans throughout the island before he kills them. In dissimilarity, Rainsford finds Zaroff's tendency to hunt humans to be repulsive, spiteful, and wicked.
