Read the excerpt from "the most dangerous game." rainsford's first impression was that the man was singularly handsome; his second was that there was an original, almost bizarre quality about the general's face. he was a tall man past middle age, for his hair was a vivid white; but his thick eyebrows and pointed military mustache were as black as the night from which rainsford had come. his eyes, too, were black and very bright. he had high cheek bones, a sharp-cut nose, a spare, dark face, the face of a man used to giving orders, the face of an aristocrat. turning to the giant in uniform, the general made a sign. the giant put away his pistol, saluted, withdrew. what details from the narration relate rainsford’s impression of zaroff? check all that apply. almost bizarre quality about the general's face his thick eyebrows and pointed military mustache were as black as the night his eyes, too, were black and very bright the face of an aristocrat turning to the giant in uniform, the general made a sign the giant put away his pistol, saluted, withdrew.

In The Most dangerous Game by Richard Connell, after Rainsford awakens from his sleep, from the place where he heard the pistol shots he heads towards that area. On following the boots footprints, he reaches the door and finds a "gigantic creature" Ivan who is dumb and deaf.

As when the owner of Chateau descends the stairs Rainsford's first impression of Zaroff is that he finds him "singularly handsome." second impression is  "Almost bizarre quality about the general's face."

Further, through the involvement of impression Rainsford gain respect for Zaroff's skill and intellect through the game of huntee (Rainsford) and hunter (Zaroff). His impression of Zaroff is of admiration and fear and the tension is evident.

Therefore, Rainsford's impression of Zaroff were:

the first proposition is to question economic materialism and victorian christianity. the lines are:

“it moves us not.—great god! i'd rather be

a pagan suckled in a creed outworn; ”

wordsworth is stating that nature no longer interests mankind, that the latter is not “moved” by it and explains that ancient western paganism had a more positive attitude concerning nature since it lacked the perv erted judaeo-christian interpretation of having received the world and all its animals and elements from god to use as we , instead of humans actually being not only part of nature but its wardens, meant to appreciate it and protect it.

the next lines are:

“so might i, standing on this pleasant lea,

have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;

have sight of proteus coming from the sea;

or hear old triton blow his wreathed horn.”

wordsworth here make it very clear that by actually looking and contemplating nature, human beings would reconnect with happiness, serenity and purpose. the use of mythological figures is quite evocative as well, proteus is a greek mythological god of the changing sea. he personifies the sea that changes, which symbolizes the way nature changes and inevitably can change to be destructive not only due to natural causes but to human pollution. furthermore, the sea is even more symbolic since all life originated in the sea so it is not only our past but our future since no life form in our planet can survive without water and if all water is destroyed in earth all life will be gone as well.

he then uses triton which is symbolic of the synthesis of both nature and mankind. triton is a mythological greek god that has the upper body of a man and the lower body of a fish (a merman). this human fish duality evokes the fact that humans are not only human but also part of nature, the fish tail representing nature. the main attribute of this god was that he used a conch shell as a horn to calm the roaring seas. in other words, triton uses nature through science for the benefit of human sailors who risk death during tempests. with the use of such metaphor, wordworth is conveying the message that human technology   is supposed to use nature to preserve nature and thereby humanity as well.

greet them:

buenas noches.

that is considered night time which is when "good night" is used.
