In Richard Connell's story “The Most Dangerous Game”, the setting is the most essential part of the passage. Meaning that the setting needs to be on an island. In order for general zaroff to do what he does best, he would have to be located on an island. General Zaroff specifically moved to an island for many reasons, one being that the island is the only place where he can kill the most dangerous game. As General Zaroff shows Rainsford how he catches his prey “Rainsford saw a flash of lights…’they indicate a channel’ says General Zaroff. ‘Where there's none; giant rocks… crush a ship as easy as I crush a nut”’(8). D to the rocks around Zaroff's island, Zaroff is able to signal ships to crash into the large boulders which causes them to crash.
