The Most Dangerous Game

This story, I have already read. Because I have read it already, it was strange to read it again, noticing all the signs General Zaroff conveyed in the beginning. And other signs that the auther may have implied to have a greater meaning. One sign, I am not sure has meaning or not, is the "particularly well-cooked filet mignon." If this has a meaning, it is to make the reader consider the mignon. Why is it particularly well-cooked? I am not sure if it has meaning, but if it does...gross!! Also, all of the small, mysterious smiles, and all the phrases General Zaroff speaks during his and Rainsford's conversations. Gen. Zaroff spoke of being in the army once. He mentioned how his interest was always in the hunt, even when deployed! I feel that he possible felt a connection while being in the army that he subconsiously was aware of. He enjoyed killing humans at that time already and had little to no realization of it. I believe that because he continued to hunt regular animals, until that began to "bore" him! It bored him because animals simply had instinct which proved no match for Gen. Zaroff's wits. So what was he to do? The reader should think. Considering that hunting was his life. I honestly could barely believe that he could think of that. How is it that someone could come up with such a bizarre solution. So bizarre, he has to hide it. So bizarre, the sailors, that have only heard fractions of his evil, fear his evil with great tremors. I feel that his comparison of Rainsford's point of view as naive even though he was an educated American to "a snuffbox in a limosine" was not such a well comparison. Though it may have expressed Gen. Zaroff's viewpoints, I feel that Rainsford simply thinks as a great man. This comparison only greatened the evilness of Zaroff.
Zaroff began to mention that he and Rainsford would hunt together, but what he says could not be what he really means. How could he hunt with someone else, when he feels he is the best hunter? How could he allow someone else to take the thrill of his invented game? He couldn't. And that is why his words were a twisted, sick, fake offer.
This story refers a lot to all of the riches Zaroff has. I am not sure why this is important. But it seems like it is. How he treats his guests with such gratitude, only to play with them.
As the game began, Zaroff was already on Rainsford's track. This first day was much too easy for him. And so he left Rainsford out in the dark with intentions of return. He couldn't simply take this game as a win so easily. Rainsford made several surprising trapts and partially out-witted Zaroff a couple of times. However, he never completely showed his wittiness until the end. After jumping from the cliff, he must have known that Zaroff would have declared himself the winner. Because of this, Zaroff left himself defenseless only to lose to "the most dangerous game"!
