The most dangerous game
The most dangerous game
What is the most dangerous game? I can get
the answer from a couple of angles. The answer could be hunting or a human.
Maybe it is hunting humans. To my understanding, it is not a simple game but a
game where a human being(Zaroff) plays with a living creature (animals,
Rainsford and people killed by Zaroff) taking advantage of the fear of
his/her/its life’s being taken. It can be the most dangerous game to the human in
that he/she might put himself/herself in a deadly situation because the living
creature facing absolute death cannot hold any patience but killing the human.
The difference between two deaths is that death the human faces indicates just
a short-term fear. How can the human, General Zaroff, be that cruel if he is
not a born psychopath? Of course, he was born to a civilized family, which
might mean he was raised as a civilized person. Then what could have affected
the distortion of his life? Too much civilized environment, which can be defined
as materialistically fulfilled and bored enough not to care about others’
feelings, might have twisted his civilized characteristics and ended up being
an uncivilized character. What an irony! Life is full of ironies.
