Question

"Nonsense," laughed Rainsford. "This hot weather is making you soft, Whitney. Be a realist. The world is made up of two classes — the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are the hunters. Do you think we’ve passed that island yet?". How do Rainsford and Whitney feel about hunting?

Answer 1

Answer: Hunting in this perspective is not meant literary. It is a metaphor. Rainsford is the one trying to convince Whitney that they are hunters and not huntees because Whitney doesn't see herself as a hunter. He wants Whitney to share his view or dame perspective that they are hunters and what he means by this is that they are leaders and not followers. As hunters they make things happen and also sort after things. They don't wait for things to happen or to be told what to do.
