Answer:

Through the description of the animal heads that adorned the general's dining hall, general Zaroff seemed to be an enthusiastic hunter. And not only that, he seemed to like hunting larger games, animals that people don't usually hunt. He also seemed like a ruthless man, in constant want and need to keep himself entertained by inflicting hurt to the creatures he deemed weaker than himself.

Explanation:

Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game" follows the story of a famous hunter Sanger Rainsford on one of his 'misfortunate' encounters with a horrendous hunter. The short story delves into the theme of hunter-hunted relationship, and how thin the line actually is.

In the given passage, the narrator gave a detailed description of the dining room of General Zaroff's mansion. In adorning the dining hall with the heads of hunted game, and that too, with creatures larger than people normally hunt, the general seems to love hunting. Moreover, it also gives us the impression that he wanted to achieve what others can't or don't and would hunt only creatures that are more advanced and not the ones people normally hunt for.

This shows that the general is a ruthless, game-hungry man, always looking for some sport to keep himself entertained.

I NEED THIS ASSAP Some critics believe that Hamlet is not insane for the majority of the play, but does "temporarily lose his ra
kati45 [8]

B

There is much evidence in the play that Hamlet deliberately feigned fits of madness in order to confuse and disconcert the king and his attendants. His avowed intention to act "strange or odd" and to "put an antic disposition on" 1 (I. v. 170, 172) is not the only indication. The latter phrase, which is of doubtful interpretation, should be taken in its context and in connection with his other remarks that bear on the same question. To his old friend, Guildenstem, he intimates that "his uncle-father and aunt-mother are deceived," and that he is only "mad north-north-west." (II. ii. 360.) But the intimation seems to mean nothing to the dull ears of his old school-fellow. His only comment is given later when he advises that Hamlet's is "a crafty madness." (III. i. 8.)

When completing with Horatio the arrangements for the play, and just before the entrance of the court party, Hamlet says, "I must be idle." (III. ii. 85.) This evidently is a declaration of his intention to be "foolish," as Schmidt has explained the word. 2 Then to his mother in the Closet Scene, he distinctly refers to the belief held by some about the court that he is mad, and assures her that he is intentionally acting the part of madness in order to attain his object:

Zielflug [23.3K]
Start a fire. It sets the entire island on fire and puts them in danger. As far as irony goes, fire is a symbol of hope in the novel, so it is ironic that hope is the thing that would destroy them (if they were not found just in time).
