He gets to the island and then walks through the island and it is pitch-black and you can't see a single thing. If the reader was Rainsford they would be panicing and trying to find someone or something on the island. Though the island is no the only thing that our character, Rainsford had to face. He had to face more than one problem in the story. There were plenty more. As the short story goes on, Rainsford finds himself going against himself as man vs. man. He sees that the general is a lunatic and tries to get out because of the collection of heads in the basement of the general’s house. Rainsford knows that he needs to get off the island and needs to before he gets killed. He has thoughts running through his head knowing what he has to do and goes against himself by these thoughts. He thinks that he is going to get hunted by something in the woods but, he never expects this story to take an unexpected twist. Lastly, Rainsford thinks he is the only on the island, but he is completely wrong. That’s where his predator comes into place. General Zaroff, the man who lives on Ship-Trap Island, may be nice, sweet and kind is actually is the murderer of the island. He kills off all people of all races. Rainsford finds himself going against the general, as man vs. man. The general treats him very kindly and helps him. Though, Rainsford does not know that he is being set up to be killed. Rainsford does not expect this but, learns it after. He runs from the general trying to get away and finally the general dies. You can see that Rainsford was trying to leave by getting away from the general, and going against him as, man vs. man. The prey finally stops and finds out that the predator that was following him is now gone. The prey is now happy and return home safely and not harmed. It could not get any better. He realizes that being the hunter, the reader might end up as the hunted. So, now Rainsford knows better and knows not to trust a random person on an island to help you.
