Quick Write thesis on The
Most Dangerous Game
General Zaroff is a reincarnation of the Devil. He murders people without any scruples kicking in. He tempts
them with the channel indicators and once he has a hold of them they
are done for.
General Zaroff said many times that he believed that he didn't think he
was murdering. If shooting down people in
the jungle isn't murdering I don't know what is. He does it and fell bad
about it. He is the root of all evil, he gets a hold of
you and he's not satisfied until one of them is dead.
Just like the Devil tempts us with evil things that look good General
Zaroff made the channel indicators. He
put them there knowing that a ship would go into it giving the people nowhere
else to go except him. Just like the Devil
makes something look 99% good that other 1% is the one that kills you. Zaroff's
channel indicators are the 1%.
Once Zaroff has a hold of the people they don't ever leave. Just like how
the Devil gets some one hooked on drugs. It
is extremely herd to quit. Zaroff's island is like drugs, when you get on
you can't get off without a fight.
When someone can murder someone and feel good about it there is something wrong with him. The certain thing that is wrong with Zaroff is that he is the Devil.
He lies with the channel indicators, cheats by giving his opponents no gun, and steals by taking their lives. He not only represents evil but the root of all evil.
