MDG+Man+vs.+Self


 * MAN VS SELF**: Man vs. Self can be portrayed in three different incidents in this story. Throughout the whole story Rainsford is constantly telling himself to not loose his mind that he has to keep thinking clearly and if he doesn't General Zaroff will kill him. General Zaroff is a very skillful hunter and if Rainsford is losing his mind then Zaroff will definetly win in the fued between them. On pages 27 to 31 Rainsford is faced with the decision if he should hunt with Zaroff or be hunted by him but he just wants to not hunt at all but that is not an option in Zaroff's game so he chooses to be hunted. The last example of Man vs. Self from the story is human frailty. Human frailty is shown in the story on page 35 when Rainsford jumps off of the cliff in to the sea and he can be injured very badly because humans are very injury prone.
