Zaroff is a horrible, racist, and sadistic person. As shown by the story "'Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and, if needs be, taken by the strong. The weak  of the world were put here to give the strong pleasure. I am strong. Why should I not use my  gift? If I wish to hunt, why should I not? I hunt the scum of the earth: sailors from tramp ships-- lassars, blacks, Chinese, whites, mongrels--a thoroughbred horse or hound is worth more than a  score of them'" (Connell 10). He's justifying his behavior with racist views. He believes himself to be superior to all others. Like white supremacists. This isn't just speculation, this is fact. He's saying these things, they're coming out of his mouth. He's a horrible person, and should be jailed as such.
