"The most dangerous game."

Ms. Melville
English

In the story “The Dangerous Game”, I think the character Zaroff believed in liberty more then equality. These are the three reason’s why I believe that. When the story first introduces Zaroff it says how he lives on an island that he brought just for hunting. On this island he hunted animals and human, he thought hunting human would be more fun since he killed so many animals, and he was tried of hunting down animals. In the story it states that Zaroff said, “ Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and if need be taken by the strong.” Also, he doesn’t mind if people was to get killed. Zaroff would put men into training camps and train them to be just like him so when he goes to hunt them down it would be more of a challenge, and more fun. He put Rainsford into one of those camps so they can battle each other, Rainsford was better than Zaroff so he got even angrier and tried to kill him more, but he died in the end of their battle. At the end of the story, I believe Zaroff stills values liberty more. Another reason is because he says, “ I am strong, why should I not use my gift?, If I wish to hunt why should I not?”. In this statement I think he was trying to say if he wants to do something why should he listen to anybody?, and also, is he wishes to do something then he will do it. Those are the three reasons why I believe that Zaroff values liberty more than equality.
