9 T H GRADE DO NOW ANSWER
Richard Connell, author of the short story, “The Most Dangerous
Game” is sympathetic to the plight of the animal—although it
doesn’t seem like it when we first begin our story. To Connell, life
seems equal, be it animal or human. He has Rainsford, the story’s
protagonist remark foolishly, toward the story’s start, “Who cares
how a jaguar feels?” Later, Rainsford reiterates, “Bah! They’ve no
understanding.” However, throughout the story, Rainsford is
mercilessly hunted by an evil man, and he has to nearly become an
animal to survive. In turn, he learns that the jaguar would indeed
experience terror and fear while being hunted; “The cat has again
come to play with the mouse.” Rainsford even refers to himself as an
animal by the story’s end, “I am still a beast at bay.”
