Most Dangerous Game!

In the book "The Most Dangerous Game" the character Rainsford values equality. The character Rainsford is Against Murder. I know this because in the story Rainsford says"Hunting? Good God, Genral Zaoff, what you speak is murder. Rainsford is against murder because Zaroff tells Rainsford things about animals that is in a mater of killing them. Zaroff tells Rainsford "A new animal? You're joking." "Not at all," said the general. "I never joke about hunting. I needed a new animal. I found one. So I bought this island built this house, and here I do my hunting. The island is perfect for my purposes--there are jungles with a maze of traits in them, hills, swamps". In the middle of the story Rainsford learns how and were Zaroff is going with this whole game type thing. Rainsford gets the hang of what Zaroff is trying to do and he find one of Zaroff's traps and he surrives and makes it threw the traps that Zaroff has planned. The tral that Zaroff had set up for Rainsford ,Rainsford says "I'll give him a trail to follow," muttered Rainsford".That is how the charcter Rainsford has value equality.
