"The Most Dangerous Game," by Richard Connell, demonstrates that actions can have
major consequences, as shown through the conflict, setting, and characters of the story.

created by Rainsford, in his attempt to hunt him down. Or when Zaroff's best hunting hound
gets killed in a trap set by Rainsford in an attempt to defend himself from Zaroff. The
