What is your reaction to Zaroofs statement we try to be civilized here?
It's interesting that he says civilized, as his favorite sport is hunting human beings. However, he is very proper in his dress and living conditions, which is something Rainsford notes upon arriving at Zaroff's home. Also, Zaroff has a strange sense of fairness; while it's obviously not fair at all to force a person into playing a game where their life is as stake, especially against their will, Zaroff thinks that letting Rainsford have a single weapon and a head start is enough to consider the game "fair". Civilized, it would seem, is an extremely relative term in this story.
What words would you use to describe zaroff's character?
Swagger, SOD, Based , Realist
Has science civilized us?
It would be simplistic to say that science has civilized us. Science has given us a much greater capability to live civilized lives, but it has equally well given us the capacity for new and more terrible barbarities. To a very large extent, civilization depends more upon what people think, and what their attitude is toward the society in which they live, than it does upon science and technology.
Why does Zaroff think that Rainsford hasn't played the game?
Zaroff thinks Rainsford hasn't played the "game" because he chooses to evade and fight Zaroff rather than be the prey like the previous victims. Zaroff believes Rainsford is cheating the rules of the game by not playing along with the designated roles of hunter and prey.
