In "The Most Dangerous Game," Rainsford kills Zaroff at the end even though Zaroff had promised to release him. What does the interaction reveal about Rainsford's motivations or values? Even though he has felt the terror that comes with being hunted, Rainsford is still a merciless hunter. Rainsford is so accustomed to killing that once he starts, he can't stop. In Zaroff's place, Rainsford would also have shipwrecked, imprisoned, and hunted the sailors. Rainsford is actually more comfortable fighting for his life in the jungle than resting in a town.
