PARAGRAPH

In "The Most dangerous Game," Richard Connell examines several important aspects of human nature - conflict, search for endless fun, boredom, cruelty, and character change. Personality conflict is the main theme of the story. While the protagonist Rainsford views hunting as fun in the beginning, he gradually comes to realize that it is actually cruel and irrational. To come to this conclusion, he has to experience it himself. The antagonist Zaroff, although well-mannered and presentable, is a cruel character. His only purpose in life is to stop boredom by inventing a cruel hunting game. This aspect of General Zaroff's character develops gradually over his lifetime. At Arst, he satisfies his search for fun by hunting animals. When it stops being entertaining he switches to humans. At the end of the story, the reader is left to wonder if even Rainsford transforms into a version of the general. Could he have just left the island without killing the General? Did he kill Zaroff to teach him his own lesson back? Then, even Rainsford becomes cruel and perhaps even bored. What happens in his mind remains unknown..
