The Most Dangerous Game
Why does Zaroff think Rainsford is “droll” and “naïve”? (Paragraph 116)
- Zaroff thinks it’s foolish and old-fashioned that Rainsford values human life even after fighting in the war.
- Zaroff thinks it is childish and immature that Rainsford has never tried to kill another human.
- Zaroff judges Rainsford’s American culture because Rainsford feels a religious sense of responsibility.
- Insane Zaroff has been isolated on the island for too long and laughs madly at seeing Rainsford, another civilized man.
