General Zaroff from the short story the most dangerous game is different than most other characters. He is a middle aged male who is a very experienced hunter. Zaroff is very intelligent, energetic, talented in a couple different ways, but also inconsiderate. The main thing that General Zaroff wants is a harder game to hunt, a game that will give him competition since he has mastered everything else. When he meets Rainsford and tells him about his idea for the most dangerous game, he tells him that he is going to hunt him.
First of all the storyline and plot are completely different because they are at different locations and they are about totally different subjects. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a mystery/suspense type of story. The Most Dangerous Game is mostly an adventure or action story. Mr. Rainsford is also slightly different from Dr. Jekyll because at the end of the story he overcomes his fears of General Zaroff and faces him in a challenge and wins, so that General Zaroff gets eaten by hounds. General Zaroff is also different from Mr. Hyde because Zaroff gets joy from hunting people but he doesn’t care about when he kills them.
The reflection story I choose is called Why I Hunt: A Predators Meditation by Rick Bass. The short story tells of Bass’s love of hunting for both elk and deer. However, the significance of the story goes far beyond merely killing an animal for its meat, as it tells mostly of the emotional struggle he feels as a hunter. Bass acknowledges the fact that he is a predator but wonders if his insatiable need for meat will somehow affect him in a later life. He questions whether or not he will have to pay for all of the innocent animals’ deaths that he has caused.
Now you eat, all of you, and I.” Jack wants everyone to appreciate him for his kill. Jack throws the piece of meat at Simon because he is frustrated and Simon is easy to pick on. This shows how Jack is willing to be a true hunter. Sometimes Jack has a kind heart but on the other hand he can also be a bully. “Fear can’t hurt you anymore than a dream.
Luckily, you and I are hunters.” This quote shows that Rainsford thinks that violence is perfectly fine when hunting animals and Zaroff would agree with the quote as well. Why do you think Rainsford chooses to confront Zaroff at the end, instead of ambush him? 7a: I think he does this to rub it in to Zaroff because Zaroff was so sure that he would win the game because he wins every game he faces. Also Rainsford wanted to show how terrible it is for humans to be killed and do it himself to show Zaroff that evil always comes back to haunt you. 8.How do time and place affect the actions of the
The only good human being is a dead one.’ Snowball is a ruthless leader who is committed to the revolution, so committed in fact that he indicates he’d be willing to die for Animal Farm. This arrogance towards the distressed horse Boxer and the commitment he displays mirrors that of Leon Trotsky in Russian society, it is this lack of empathy that differentiates him from the others animals, yet his hope and high ambitions ultimately contribute to his exile, but these traits are initially what made him a good leader. Orwell is using the character of Snowball to reflect the ideas that essentially, knowledge and ruthlessness is power. Trotsky was intelligent and ruthless just like many
Zaroff, intelligent, but likewise generous, uses his attractive personality to lure ship-wreakers into playing a game of survival. Zaroff's personality, I believe, can best be described as calculating. Although a highly civilized man who has all the best pleasures of the world in food and drink, it took him no time to begin sizing up Rainsford as if Rainsford were a common simple animal. Zaroff would also demonstrate a sense of equity to his prey giving them good clothes, a set of rules, and the opportunity for a good night's rest before he played The Most Dangerous Game with
Greed plays a key role for their motivation. Montresor wants Fortunato dead. He hates Fortunato so much, that he wants to kill him. Zaroff wants to hunt. His love for hunting keeps him looking for a good prey.
The Cask of Amontillado I like this story because how Montresor planned his revenge before taking actions and how he used Fortunate weaknesses to make the plan successful. I also like how Montresor’s motto connected to this story and to his actions. It explains everything. The thing that I didn’t like about the story is how Montresor got his revenge. He went too far.
Vengeance Roger Chillingworth is an evil man that feeds on the sin of others. When Chillingworth is first introduced in the story, he seems like a respectable, knowledgeable man. However, as the story progresses Chillingworth becomes filled with an overpowering feeling of vengeance towards Reverend Dimmesdale. These feelings consume his inner being. His vengeance actually becomes a crazed obsession that will never cease.
