MDG+Man+vs.+Society


 * MAN VS. SOCIETY**: There is only one case of Man vs. Society in the Most Dangerous Game and that is if the things that Rainsford does are right or wrong. On pages 27 to 30 Rainsford is given the option if he wants to hunt or be hunted. At first he decides that he does not want to hunt anyone and he just wants to go home but in Zaroff's game that is not an option and he eventually chooses to be hunted. In our perspective that was the right thing to do but if he would have chosen to hunt he didn't even have to kill a man because Zaroff would have done that but he chose to be hunted. Rainsford didn't have to kill Zaroff and Ivan but he thought that it was the right thing to do even though a society would find that behavior proposterous. When you are in the moment when you are forced to make a life and death decision your instincts will take over and you may not be thinking clearly but Rainsford was thinking clearly because he was constantly telling himself to not lose his mind so he knew what he was doing and even though killing someone in a society or in life is bad but in this situation there are no rules and real life behavior is not meant to be followed so Rainsford kills Ivan and Zaroff. People who play a game when their own life is at risk go about their lives saying kill me, but sometimes there is always someone to oblige them.
