Paragraph

• “The Most Dangerous Game” includes person vs. person conflict. After being injured by Rainsford’s Malay man-catcher, Zaroff says to him, “I am going now to have my wound dressed; it’s only a slight one. But I shall be back. I shall be back” (55). This is one piece of evidence of the person vs. person conflict in the story because Rainsford directly injures General Zaroff, who responds with a threat. The general tells Rainsford that he is injured, but says his wound is minor, even though it’s bad enough that he needs to bandage it. It also shows that the conflict between them is continuing because Zaroff leaves Rainsford with the threat of his return, which reminds Rainsford that he is still being hunted.
