dang game trial

Mr. Rainsford did not kill General Zaroff in cold blood, but rather in self-defense doing this world a favor by getting rid of such a beast as General Zaroff. Sanger Rainsford is not a murderer, but rather a savior. The general gets bored with hunting animals and in his words decides that he "had to invent a new animal to hunt."(21) This "new" animal being humans, sailors who happened to have the tragic luck of running into his "ship-trap". General Zaroff is a cold-blooded murderer who kills for sport and pleasure and plans out his murders. However his own death at the hands of Mr. Rainsford is in self-defense and in remembrance of all the men taken by the general.

General Zaroff has been killing men on his island for many years, all simply for sport and his pleasure. He is a man that adamantly thinks out his murders and then makes a game, a most dangerous game, out of his victims. The threat of being turned over to Ivan forces them to run. As the general explains to Mr. Rainsford, "He need not play the game if he doesn't wish to. If he does not wish to hunt, I turn him over to Ivan. Ivan once had the honor of serving as official knouter to the Great White Czar, and he has his own ideas of sport. Invariably, Mr. Rain


sford, invariably they choose the hunt." They are forced to run or be slowly tortured by Ivan, knowing that they would inevitably be killed, installing the utmost fear in their minds. Then the man is tracked down, possibly for days until the general takes a small pistol and ends their life. General Zaroff has a blurred sense of reality and does not see that what he is doing is wrong. He simply views it as hunting, a harmless sport. When Mr. Rainsford questions the general on his seriousness the general replies, "Why should I not be serious? I am speaking of hunting."(22) The casual manner used by General Zaroff to describe the murder of a man shows that he obviously does not know the difference between right and wrong. The general is completely self-centered and believes that the entire world revolves around him. He thinks that all other people in the world are there for his pleasure, and as long as he provides them with the necessities until their death then it is all right for him to use them however he wishes. This is shown when Sanger Rainsford challenges the general's idea of civilized and General Zaroff replies, "I treat these visitors with every consideration. They get plenty of food and exercise."(23) It is unbelievable and inhumane that someone can rationalize such a barbaric act to the point where they truly feel they are doing no wrong. A man who can do such deeds is a devil, and this man is General Zaroff. That is of course, until Sanger Rainsford ended it all, most likely saving many sailors lives in the future. Society should be pinning a medal on Mr. Rainsford right now. However, instead he is being persecuted and prosecuted for ridding us of a terrible man, if the general can even be called a man.

If these murders committed by the general are not enough in themselves, they are also all planned out. The general has a "training school" where he keeps all of his victims to make until it is time for them to be murdered to ensure that killing them is of the utmost pleasure for him. When spea
