"The general laughed with good nature. He regarded Rainsford quizzically. "I refuse to believe that so modern and civilized a young man as you seem to be harbors romantic ideas about the value of human life. Surely your experiences in the war--" "Did not make me a condone coldblooded murderer," finished Rainsford stiffly. Laughter shook the general. "How extraordinarily droll you are!" he said. "One does not expect nowadays to find a young man of the educated class, even in America, with such a naive, and, if I may say so, mid-Victorian point of view."

As Zaroff tells Rainsford of the new "game", Rainsford reacts in a negative way, and Zaroff begins to think that Rainsford is a bit weak minded.

"I suggest to one of them that we go hunting.  I give him a supply of food and an excellent hunting knife.  I give them three hours' start. I am to follow, armed only with a pistol of the smallest caliber and range. If my quarry eludes me for three who days, he wins the game. If I find him, he loses"(Connnell 28).

"an erect, slender man in evening clothes... the man was singularly handsome; his second was that there was an original, almost bizarre quality about the general's face. He was a tall man past middle age, for his hair was a vivid white; but his thick eyebrows and pointed military mustache were as black as the night from which Rainsford had come. His eyes, too, were black and very bright. He had high cheekbones, a sharp cut nose, a spare, dark face, the face of a man used to giving orders, the face of an aristocrat" (Connell 21).

"My life has been one prolonged hunt." "I have hunted every kind of game in every land. It would be impossible form me to tell you how many animals I have killed."
