Examples Of General Zaroff Internal Conflict

Decent Essays
in the most dangerous game the external conflict was the part in wich general zaroff was hunting humans and rainsford was just disgusted with the fact that someone would do that and think it is ok or think there is nothing wrong wit it.That caused internal conflict by causing rainsford to want to become apart of the hunt but not hunting the people general zaroff brought but hunting and killing general zaroff. Wich rainsford is not a murderer but general zaroff brung the worst out in him, and just the fact that general zaroff is murdering people rainsford i think feels bad because general zaroff is a big fan of sanger rainsford and i think he feels somehow a-little-bit responsible even though he doesnt say that himself i kind-of got the feeling
