In Richard Connell's The Most Dangerous Game, I felt that he wanted the reader to be cautionary about hunting because he showed that when you overdo something, it can become something horrible.He thought hunting was morally okay, but when you take it too far, it can be a disaster, "Hunting? Great Guns, General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder. It turns to something way worst than hunting, it turns to murder. General Zaroff overdid hunting and he made it more into a game than a sport. He would make people try and survive but if they were found, they were killed, "A rather good lot, I think." "The Hunt" was used more often than hunting because I believe that General Zaroff thought that everything in general was one big hunt, "My real interest was always the hunt." I don't think that Connell's tone was not to hunt, just to always give yourself guidelines and not to turn into some murderer.The general was studying him immensely, "Whenever he looked up from his plate, he found the general studying him, appraising him narrowly". The general was planning to take his skill to the test against another skillful hunter. He was studying him and seeing what properties he had as a good competitor against General Zaroff.
