Rosa Cain · Answer 1

The most important event in the whole story has to be when Rainsford finds out that Zaroff is a human hunter for fun because he is bored from the fact that animals have no reasoning. The other important event is when Rainsford is the one being hunted and it may change his reasoning to hunting and scar him for life.

Alexandra Mccann · Answer 2

Hunter Sanger Rainsford washes up on the shore of an island owned by the wealthy General Zaroff. Rainsford sees evidence of someone hunting large game on the island. Zaroff claims he has been importing game for his hunts.

Rainsford soon realizes that Zaroff has been hunting humans for sport. When he refuses to join Zaroff on a hunt, the General turns against him.

Zaroff informs Rainsford that he will be hunted for the next three days. If Rainsford survives, he will be returned to the mainland, provided that he promises to tell no one of what happens on the island.

Rainsford hides deep in the woods, where he sets several traps to outsmart Zaroff. Eventually, he decides to jump back into the sea to escape. Rainsford then sneaks into Zaroff’s quarters and kills him, turning the tables on hunter and prey.
