The Most Dangerous Game

Rationale

General Zaroff finds hunting animals unchallenging since they can't think or strategize like humans can. He tells Rainsford that he now targets the most dangerous prey of all — people who end up shipwrecked or are tricked into coming to his island.

Rationale

General Zaroff has become tired of hunting animals and seeks out the most intelligent prey — humans. He attracts shipwrecked sailors to his island and hunts them for sport, creating the main conflict of the story.
