In the story "The Most Dangerous Game," you learn that these two characters may both be hunters, but they have different views about it, especially about whether animals have emotions, or whether they are just prey and don't feel anything. Rainsford loves hunting and thinks animals do not have feelings; he is the more hardened and cold of the two men, and sees the world as just made up of the hunter and the hunted. But Whitney is not as certain, since he believes animals do experience a sense of fear when they are hunted, and he believes only the hunter enjoys hunting, and the prey does not enjoy anything about it.

What is the tone of the short story the most dangerous game?

The mood of this famous story is ominous and suspenseful, primarily because of the setting and plot. Rainsford initially thinks he swims to safety after falling off the yacht, but he arrives on an island with a strangely gothic mansion, complete with a heavy front door and a threatening doorman. Once General Zaroff, who is a disarmingly gracious host, explains the rules of the "game," Rainsford must struggle for his life in a jungle-like forest complete with a "Death Swamp." Although Rainsford is a famous, experienced hunter, he is hardly a match for the general who knows the island well and tracks him unerringly. Although Rainsford has some success, with the hounds and Zaroff's henchman Ivan in pursuit as well, Rainsford must jump off a cliff to escape. To the reader's surprise, after Zaroff's leisurely dinner, Rainsford confronts Zaroff in his bedroom and challenges him. With the ending, Rainsford "had never slept in a better bed," we learn that he did indeed defeat the vicious general who "furnished a repast for the dogs." Throughout the story the gripping suspense creates a mood that engages the reader and never falters.
