When Rainsford expresses his horror and disgust, Zaroff defends himself by saying, "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—" (pg. 25) This quote shows General Zaroff's lack of empathy and detachment from society. He clearly does not have any morals as he sees that there is nothing wrong with hunting humans. ]]> 2017-10-13 20:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/rtle105/9nxj0p5y0igy/wish/196967569 rtle105 https://padlet.com/rtle105/9nxj0p5y0igy/wish/196969812 Once General Zaroff reveals that Rainsford will be the next victim, he tells Rainsford, "'You'll find this game worth playing,' the general said enthusiastically. 'Your brain against mine. Your woodcraft against mine. Outdoor chess! And the stake is not without value, eh?'" (pg. 29). This quote demonstrates General Zaroff's nonexistent values of human life, causing him to think of his manhunts as just a "game". Thus, he conducts these manhunts since hunting animals had become too easy for him. ]]> 2017-10-13 20:36:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rtle105/9nxj0p5y0igy/wish/196969812 rtle105 https://padlet.com/rtle105/9nxj0p5y0igy/wish/196970617 General Zaroff aiming his pistol]]> 2017-10-13 20:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rtle105/9nxj0p5y0igy/wish/196970617 rtle105 https://padlet.com/rtle105/9nxj0p5y0igy/wish/196970905 Rainsford hiding from General Zaroff in the tree tops]]> 2017-10-13 20:43:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rtle105/9nxj0p5y0igy/wish/196970905
