Characterization is the act of creating and developing a character and they can be both direct and indirect. General Zaroff, a Cossack, is handsome, well educated, conceited, immoral and above all a savage hunter. He tells Rainsford of his invention of a new animal to hunt, because he was bored with the typical sport of hunting. He explains that this invention is one that can match his wits because it can reason. Zaroff believe that there are men of lesser value, and calls them ,“… 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.” Rainsford comes to understand he has no choice but to play the game.
In the beginning, they are both hunters, Rainsford hunting animals and Zaroff hunting humans. Then, in the middle, Zaroff stays a hunter, but Rainsford becomes the huntee, or the hunted because Zaroff decides to hunt Rainsford since he has hunting experience and his game of hunting humans will be more exciting. Finally, at the end, it switches and Rainsford becomes the hunter once again and Zaroff becomes the huntee since Rainsford sneaks into Zaroff's room in his house and kills him, so he can win the game and end it once and for all. Also, during the actual "game", you find out that they both are very knowledgeable about hunting, so much that they both know foreign hunting tricks. Rainsford makes a couple of the foreign hunting tricks just to find out that Zaroff easily identifies them.
The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell focuses mainly on Sanger Rainsford, the protagonist, who realistically is no better than the predator, General Zaroff. The initial feelings of Rainsford towards animals show him to be cold and unfeeling.

They also influence the theme and set the serious mood of the story. The narrator is separate from the story, (told in third person limited) and the reader is mostly only aware of Rainsfords thoughts and feelings until the story climaxes, then the game changes.
In the short story “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, Zaroff and his accomplice, Ivan, hunt an innocent man named Rainsford. Zaroff, a psychopath, intends to have fun hunting Rainsford because he “wanted the ideal animal to hunt”(p. ). After Zaroff states that he wants to hunt an animal that has “courage, cunning, and, above all” (p. ) ability to reason, Rainsford understands that he has no other choice but to kill Zaroff to survive.

Deterrence is an act or process of discouraging and preventing an action from occurring. When potential killers know that the cost of their murderous action can result in their own death, they are much more hesitant and more likely to reconsider their plans. Murderers are selfish and sick-minded people who have no consideration of others. Isaac Ehrlich puts it perfectly, “ if one execution of a guilty capital murderer deters the murder of one innocent life, the execution is justified.” Therefore, capital punishment should be strictly enforced and legalized.Capital punishment also provides protection to the society. Philosopher Jackues Barzun compares such criminals to wolves.
