Zaroff, the antagonist in Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game," obtains the species he hunts by luring shipwrecked sailors to his isolated island. He uses deceptive lights to make them believe they are approaching safety, but instead, they end up in his clutches. Once on the island, he gives them a chance to survive by hunting them, turning the chase into a twisted game. This brutal practice allows him to satisfy his desire for a more challenging prey than traditional game.
He gives his visitors a supply of food and a hunting knife before he goes and hunts them but he doesn't give them an option of wanting to be hunted or not
