Answer and Explanation:
"The Most Dangerous Game" is a short story by Richard Connell. <u>The exposition first introduces the protagonist, Rainsford</u>, who is aboard a yatch on his way to Rio. Rainsford is a skilled hunter who shows no remorse or empathy after having killed so many animals. Once he falls from the yatch by accident, Rainsford lands in <u>General Zaroff's island. We are now introduced the antagonist. </u>Just like Rainford, Zaroff is a hunter without much empathy for his prey. The only problem is Zaroff does not hunt animals. He hunts men.
<u>The building action begins when Zaroff starts hunting Rainsford after the latter refuses to chase and kill other men with him. </u>This part of the plot takes place in the forest on the island. Zaroff gets close to catching Rainsford a couple of times. But, since he enjoys the hunt, he never does it. Tension builds as Rainsford keeps on trying to escape.
<u>The climax in this story is divided into two parts. First, it is climatic when Zaroff finally corners Rainsford. Rainsford ends up jumping from a cliff into the ocean</u>. Since there is no sign of him, the general assumes he is dead, and returns home. <u>The second part of the climax takes place in Zaroff's bedroom, where Rainsford is hiding. They fight.</u>
<u>The resolution is the revelation that Rainsford has won the fight and is now sleeping soundly in Zaroff's bed.</u>
