I think that Rainsford is right because Zaroff has been hunting his whole life, and to catch such a fine prey so easily would be boring, so Zaroff gave a warning to Rainsford he means business.

<span style="font-family: Times-Roman; tabstops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">11.

<span style="font-family: ArialMT; tabstops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">15.

So in the end in found a new compassion for animals.

<span style="font-family: ArialMT; tabstops: 28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt;">16. How does Connell inspire fear without obvious bloodshed/grotesqueness. 3/3 He inspires fear by installing literary devices like suspense, creepiness and dread. These work much better because the author creates a connection between Rainsford and the reader in which we picture ourselves in the story with Rainsford. This inspires fear because if Rainsford is caught so are we.
