In "The Most Dangerous Game," Rainsford's killing of General Zaroff can be seen as a form of poetic justice, as Zaroff, who hunted humans for sport, ultimately becomes the hunted. Rainsford's victory symbolizes a reversal of roles, where the predator becomes prey. However, the moral implications of Rainsford's actions raise questions about the ethics of survival and the cycle of violence. Ultimately, while Rainsford may achieve justice for himself, the story complicates the notion of justice by blurring the lines between hunter and hunted.
Rainsford apparently dies in a plunge from a cliff into the sea, but is waiting for the general in his bedroom. Rainsford invokes the law of the jungle, where only one can survive, and it is not Zaroff.

In "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell, the character who killed a bear at ten years old is Sanger Rainsford. He recounts this fact during a conversation with General Zaroff, showcasing his early experience in hunting and establishing his credibility as a skilled hunter. This detail also foreshadows Rainsford's later role in the story as he becomes the hunted in Zaroff's deadly game.
In The Most Dangerous Game, Rainsford had fallen off of the yacht he had been traveling on after he heard gunshots coming from Ship-Trap Island. He knew he couldn't catch up with the yacht so he swam in the direction of the shots, ending up on the island.
In Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game," Rainsford sets a trap known as a Burmese tiger pit to catch General Zaroff's assistant, Ivan. The story does not explicitly state whether Ivan is killed by the trap, but it is implied that he meets his demise as Rainsford later hears the scream of pain and terror that suggests Ivan fell into the pit. Therefore, it can be inferred that Ivan is indeed killed by Rainsford's Burmese tiger pit.
In "The Most Dangerous Game" the rising action is when Rainsford is trying to avoid drowning, and then making his way to the island.

By the end of the story, Ivan's loyalty leads to his demise as he falls victim to Zaroff's predatory game and is killed by Rainsford. Ivan undergoes a transformation from a silent and seemingly invincible servant to a tragic victim of the cruel game orchestrated by Zaroff.
