Question

The two main characters in Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game," General Zaroff and Sanger Rainsford, size each other up when they meet. Zaroff says of Rainsford's negative reaction to hunting humans, "It's like finding a snuffbox in a limousine." What does he likely mean by this comparison?

Answer 1

He is comparing it to if you found a snuffbox in a limo, you would take advantage and take it, right? That is what he is trying to say.
