Question

Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game."

Answer 1

I believe that it indicates that Zaroff is suggesting to hunt humans, and that Rainsford he views it as murder.

Answer 2

First, let’s analyze Rainsford reaction, at the beginning he thinks that the general is joking, he refers to the General’s idea as a “grisly joke”, later he completely disagrees to call that activity “haunting”, he refers to it as “murder”. With this we can infer that he strongly disagrees with Zaroff thought, Rainsford’s response to Zaroff indicates that he is complete against to the idea of haunting humans.
