<u>In the short story "The Most Dangerous Game", the character Zaroff is the one who says "That's the trouble with these sailors; they have dull brains to begin with, and they do not know how to get about in the woods. They do excessively stupid and obvious things. It's most annoying." The reason why general Zaroff says the words is because, the previous night, he had been hunting a man, a sailor. That man was easily caught and killed, which made the whole deal boring for Zaroff.</u>
Those lines were taken from a conversation between the general and another hunter, Rainsford, the main character. Zaroff has invited Rainsford to hunt with him, but Rainsford refuses to kill men. The general does not see what he does as murder. He's grown bored of killing animals incapable of reasoning, which is why he has decided to kill other human beings. He likes the challenge.
