The Most Dangerous Game By: Sean McGee
“Bleak darkness was blacking out the sea and jungle when Rainsford sighted the lights. He came upon them as he turned a crook in the coastline, and his first thought was that he had come upon a village, for there were many lights. But as he forged along, he saw to his great astonishment that all the lights were in one enormous building—a lofty structure with pointed towers plunging upward into the gloom. His eyes made out the shadowy outlines of a palatial château; it was set on a high bluff, and on three sides of it cliffs dived down to where the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows.” This shows in very descriptive detail an important place in the story. This is where the game is of hunting humans is revealed and the antagonist, General Zaroff. This is also were the story concludes in one of the towers.
“Rainsford,” called the general, “if you are within the sound of my voice, as I suppose you are, let me congratulate you. Not many men know how to make a Malay man-catcher. Luckily for me, I too have hunted in Malacca. You are proving interesting, Mr. Rainsford. I am going now to have my wound dressed; it’s only a slight one. But I shall be back. I shall be back.”(Page 34) This shows that Rainsford is a clever and resourceful man. It shows that Rainsford can outthink and outplay General Zaroff. This shows that Zaroff is going to have a challenge in beating Rainsford cunning skills.
