The Most Dangerous Game Open-Ended Questions (Pick 3)

1. There are many moments of foreshadowing in the story. Remember, foreshadowing


is a warning or an indication of something in the future. In the beginning of The Most
Dangerous Game, Whitney and Rainsford have a discussion on the yacht about
hunting. Identify this discussion and then explain what it is foreshadowing towards. Be
specific, use one citation, and write a paragraph.

2. In The Most Dangerous Game, Rainsford is the protagonist. Even though we never
really get a physical description of Rainsford, it's still very obvious he is our main
character. General Zaroff is our antagonist. His character fits the stereotype of a villain.
Describe General Zaroff, and explain how he's villainous. Don't focus on "what he does"
in the story, rather, focus on "who he is" as a character. Be specific, use one citation,
and write about a paragraph.

3. In The Most Dangerous Game, General Zaroff says, "There is no greater bore than
perfection" (Connell 11). Explain what he means by this. Consider: why does he decide
to hunt men instead of animals. What makes men different than animals? Additionally,
what kind of men does General Zaroff hunt and why does he think it's justifiable? Be
specific, use one citation, and write about a paragraph.

4. The setting of The Most Dangerous Game is essential to the story. Without this
specific setting, we would not have the same story. Explain why. How does the setting
affect the story? Additionally, why is the setting perfect for General Zaroff's game? Be
specific, use one citation, and write about a paragraph.

5. As the protagonist in The Most Dangerous Game, Rainsford is consistently conflicted


with external conflicts. Give two examples of his external conflicts. Remember, you
should not say, "General Zaroff wants to kill him", we know that. You need to focus on
two specific instances. For example, Rainsford falling off the yacht, and swimming to the
island (you cannot use that example). Additionally, give two examples of his internal
conflicts. Be specific, use one citation, and write about a paragraph.
