    General Zaroff and Sanger Rainsford are the two big game hunting fanatics in the Richard Connell short story "The Most Dangerous Game." Both come from wealthy backgrounds, enjoy the finer things in life, are physically impressive, and are used to giving orders. And they both love to hunt big game more than anything else in life. Zaroff is a tall, middle-aged man with white hair and a jet black, pointed mustache. He has "the face of an aristocrat... with high cheekbones, a sharpcut nose" and dark features. The author does not elaborate on Rainsford's physical features, but we know he is highly intelligent, athletic and a good swimmer. Both men are dynamic, energetic types--outdoorsmen of classic proportions.
