The external conflict is man versus man, as General Zaroff relentlessly hunts Rainsford through the jungle.
In this scene from "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell, Zaroff stands underneath the tree that Rainsford is hiding in but does not see him because Rainsford remains perfectly still. This moment adds tension to the story as Rainsford narrowly avoids being discovered by his pursuer.
Rainsford feels exhilarated and excited about the challenge that lies ahead as he embarks on the game. He is also alert and focused, ready to outsmart General Zaroff and survive in the dangerous jungle.
Rainsford swims back to the chateau after evading Zaroff in the jungle. He sneaks into the house and confronts Zaroff in his bedroom, ultimately defeating him in their final showdown.
The jungle where Rainsford hid smelled of moist earth, decaying vegetation, and the musky scent of animals. The air was thick with humidity and the fragrance of tropical flowers and vegetation.
The screaming Rainsford hears at the beginning of "The Most Dangerous Game" is the sound of General Zaroff hunting a human in the jungle. Zaroff is a skilled hunter who has grown bored of hunting traditional prey and has turned to hunting humans for sport.
Yes, Zaroff provided Rainsford with food and a knife before releasing him into the jungle. Zaroff wanted their hunt to be a fair match, as he enjoyed the challenge of hunting a skilled prey.
Indeed
true
Rainsford apparently dies in a plunge from a cliff into the sea, but is waiting for the general in his bedroom. Rainsford invokes the law of the jungle, where only one can survive, and it is not Zaroff.
True.. :)
The jungle can be dangerous, depending upon the type of wildlife found there.
