        <description><![CDATA[Oh good grief. You guys are killing me here. Does anyone else see the irony in a discussion group solely based upon the notion that something doesn't deserve a lot of discussion?Granted, I've fallen into the pit myself (no pun intended, MDG fans), but at least I pointed out the irony first. Here's the thing: Nobody cares about the internal conflicts of the characters in this story. Performing a head-shrink on these characters is about as...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Student , this is a prediction question, meaning you are allowed to speculate, or make your best guess. What do you think of when you hear the words &quot;dangerous&quot; and &quot;game,&quot; for instance? Different pictures may come to mind, such as fire or sports, but in the end, when a teacher asks you to &quot;predict&quot; something, whatever you feel might happen is your best answer.In this case, one might predict that the characters...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The title &quot;The Most Dangerous Game&quot; has a dual meaning.  First, it can refer to the most dangerous competition one can partake in.  This could be General Zaroff's hunting &quot;game&quot; that he plays with captured humans.  In his mind, the rules of the game are fair because he feels he prepares his opponents well by feeding and caring for their physical well-being before the challenge begins. He views this as being...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[At the beginning of the story, Rainsford is an avid hunter, feeling man is superior to animals, that his prey has no feelings, and that hunting in general is just a game. He thinks that the world is divided between the hunter and the hunted. This opinion changes when he learns Zaroff intends to use him as prey, however. Once Rainsford accepts that he must participate in Zaroff's &quot;game&quot;, Rainsford becomes much like Zaroff. He becomes...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is assuming that Rainsford would take over after the demise of General Zaroff in &quot;The Most Dangerous Game&quot;.  There is no support for this idea within that story, and Rainsford is appalled at the idea of hunting humans before he realizes that he is the next target.  However, if he were to &quot;snap&quot;, so to speak, the only way to get away on an island that he now controls (after the death of Zaroff) would be to either...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The story was first published in 1924. There is nothing in the story, however, that places it in any particular time. That is, it could easily be set in any era. Can you imagine how shocking the story must have been to the pre-World War II audience? Today, we can name countless stories of people who have committed crimes much more heinous than that of Zaroff. But the original audience of this story must have found it terribly unrealistic.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I think not.Rainsford is an amazing hunter in his own right, but he recognizes the horror and inhumane quality of hunting humans.He is shocked as Zaroff explains what he does on the island, and even more shocked to learn that Rainsford himself is considered to be a worthy prey for the General's entertainment.  While Rainsford and Zaroff have much in common, the one thing Rainsford has that Zaroff does not is his sense of ethics regarding...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There are several themes for this short story, but most important among them would be the theme of cruelty and violence, the theme of morality, the theme of individual versus society, and the theme of revenge.Cruelty and violence are manifest in that Zaroff and his crew purposefully lure people to their lair in order to hunt them down like animals.Morality comes into play since Rainsford is a renowned hunter in his own right, and he...]]></description>

At the end of the story Rainsford has now had the unique experience of being hunted by General Zaroff and he felt both pain and fear during his experience. Rainsford ultimately wins the most dangerous game, but his attitude toward what he does for a profession will surely change as a...]]></description>
