#3 On Page 244- The Most Dangerous Game

The biggest detail that I found in this story that was reoccuring was the darkness. It seemed like every time something bad happened, it was dark. The story started out talking about how dark it was which set up for everything else to happen. Also, Zaroff had dark features and hunted in the night. The fact that both of the men were great hunters was also a reoccuring detail, it was shown in how Rainsford was able to get away from Zaroff and also how Zaroff was able to hunt him down. I think the biggest object that had significance in the story was the pistol, the sounds are what brought Rainsford to the island and to the home and it turned out to be the gun that would potentially kill Rainsford. Also, Ivan was of great significance to Zaroff because he seemed to be a kind of companion and he also helped in the hunt so it really set him off when Ivan got killed. The description of Zaroff makes him out to be an intelligent, worldly, and sophisticated man by the fine liquors and wines that he drinks, the food that he eats, and all the things he has done and places he has gone but he is actually just a psyco serial killer. The fact that Rainsford was not a killer at the beginning of the story showed that he valued his own morals but he did value his own life more than his morals and he became a killer in the end.
