General Zaroff
Connell portrays General Zaroff as a civilized savage by showing his sophisticated and aristocratic manners despite his cruel and immoral actions. This is evident when Zaroff engages in refined conversation with Rainsford while casually discussing hunting human beings. Additionally, Zaroff demonstrates his love for art and culture in his luxurious home, contrasting with his barbaric behavior of hunting humans for sport. Finally, Zaroff's adherence to a twisted sense of honor, such as giving his prey a head start before the hunt, showcases his complex and contradictory nature as a civilized man with savage instincts.

Zaroff; Ivan
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.
