Character and Point of View in “The Most Dangerous Game,” Part 1

Question 2 • MO-English Language Arts 9 B-CR

In what way is Zaroff portrayed as Rainsford’s foil?

Answer
A
Zaroff is a strong hunter, and Rainsford is a weak one.
B
Zaroff is a person without a conscience, but Rainsford has one.
C
Zaroff is a considerate host, but Rainsford is an inconsiderate guest.

Explanation

A foil is a character whose contrasting qualities highlight another character’s traits. Zaroff treats hunting people as entertainment and shows no remorse, while Rainsford recognizes that the hunted feel fear and suffering, revealing his conscience. Zaroff is also a skilled hunter, so choice A does not describe a contrast between them.
