The Most Dangerous Game - The Eccentric vs The Sane

The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Conwell is a fictional short story about a maniac who lives to trophy hunt. So after he conquered hunting around the world, he became beside himself, as he had nothing to do. No excitement, no drama, no challenge in hunting animals for joy. Until he discovered what was really a challenge: hunting people. You can read the full story here.

In my way of thinking, General Zaroff is a very crazy man. He tricks and entraps people into this game of his, and the story still gives me the chills. Why? I have no idea. But I was thinking, wouldn't Rainsford become sort of like the General since he killed him in the end? Would he do the same, hunting people because of the thrill? Think about it.
