The screaming Rainsford hears at the beginning of "The Most Dangerous Game" is the sound of General Zaroff hunting a human in the jungle. Zaroff is a skilled hunter who has grown bored of hunting traditional prey and has turned to hunting humans for sport.
General Zaroff forces Rainsford to become his prey in a three day hunt. Animals bore him now, they have become too easy game, so he has resorted to hunting the only species that could match his owns wits: humans.

In "The Most Dangerous Game," General Zaroff and Rainsford serve as foils for each other.

They both enjoy hunting.
Zaroff's visitors are likely confident in their hunting abilities and enjoy the challenge of hunting. They may also be drawn to the thrill of hunting on Ship-Trap Island. This information hints at the competitive and dangerous nature of Zaroff's hunting games.
In The Most Dangerous Game, General Zaroff has lost his interest in hunting animals. He no longer feels it is challenging or worthwhile. His internal conflict is whether he should continue something that holds no interest for him, or raise the stakes by hunting humans, something that would be more challenging.
