Think about the character of Rainsford. Which character in the story is his foil?

General Zaroff is Rainsford’s foil because he highlights the contrast between them. Both are skilled hunters, but Zaroff treats human beings as prey and sees the hunt as entertainment, while Rainsford learns what it feels like to be hunted and rejects Zaroff’s cruelty. Whitney and Ivan do not provide as direct a contrast to Rainsford.
