We might imagine that the experience of being hunted has
taught Rainsford his lesson about killing other animals. But
the fact that Rainsford sleeps in Zaroff's bed suggests
otherwise. Interpret the ending of this story and what it
says about Rainsford and humans more generally.



Sagot :

This is an extract from The Most Dangerous Game, a short story by Richard Connell

One would hope that Rainsford's tragic experiences had at least given him some animal empathy and a better understanding of what it's like to be a prey animal.

However, the text's evidence would seem to support the opposite. Although we can't be certain, it would seem that Rainsford killed General Zaroff since otherwise, how else would he be found sleeping so peacefully in his bed?

Is he turning into the next Zaroff by taking over his bed? After all, he could have tried to flee or even slept in his own bed.

Think about this Zaroff leaves his position to Rainsford when he passes away. Has Rainsford consented already? How can someone sleep so soundly if he regrets killing a human being?

After all, Zaroff had assured him that, if he triumphed, he might leave the island.
