"he had never slept in a better bed, Rainsford decided."

"I will not lose my nerve. I will not."

"if you are within sound of my voice, as I suppose you are, let me congratulate you. Not many men know how to make a Malay man catcher. Luckily for me I, too, have hunted in Malacca. You are proving interesting, Mr. Rainsford. I am going now to have my wound dressed; it's only a slight one. But I shall be back. I shall be back."

"Your Burmese tiger pit has claimed one of my best dogs. Again you score. I think, Mr. Rainsford, Ill see what you can do against my whole pack. I'm going home for a rest now. Thank you for a most amusing evening."

"I congratulate you," he said. "You have won the game."

"I am still a beast at bay," he said, in a low, hoarse voice. "Get ready, General Zaroff."

The theme of the short story is Reason versus Instinct. This is the theme because Rainsford has to use his instincts to win the hunting between him and General Zaroff. Rainsford had to learn how to survive and use his instincts to kill the general. Its also reason because he has to reason with the General so he can leave the island and get back home.  "if you are within sound of my voice, as I suppose you are, let me congratulate you. Not many men know how to make a Malay mancatcher. Luckily for me I, too, have hunted in Malacca. You are proving interesting, Mr. Rainsford. I am going now to have my wound dressed; it's only a slight one. But I shall be back. I shall be back." this quote is what General Zaroff got hit with the trap that Rainsford made.

General Zaroff's motivations were to hunt people on the island. He is a professional hunter and was getting bored hunting animals so he started hunting people. When Rainsford came onto the island he saw the opportunity to hunt him because Rainsford was a professional hunter also. "Iv'e read your book about hunting snow leopards in Tibet" said General Zaroff proving that Rainsford is a hunter because he wrote a book about hunting leopards. Also in the book it says "It's a game, you see," pursued the general blandly. "I suggest to one of them that we go hunting. I give him a supply of food and an excellent hunting knife. I give him 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 whole days, he wins the game. If I find him "--the general smiled--" he loses.". This quote is talking about how the General hunts people and how he tricks them into being hunted by him.
