Question

What is your reaction to Zaroff’s statement:”We try to be civilized here?” Explain your answer.

Answer 1

My reaction to Zaroff's statement, "We try to be civilized here," is a feeling of repulsion, because the way Zaroff behaves is so far from being civilized. He may believe he is being civil, but I think any person listening to him talk would be appalled by his idea of civilization.
