Connel values liberty and equality. In this paragraph I will explain how I came to this conclusion. I will also support conclusion with relevant details from the Most Dangerous Game. Connel uses quotes in the story that support positions on both values, liberty and equality. In the beginning of the story, Rainsford and Whitney have an argument. Rainsford started the arguement with "this is the best sport in the world". This statement says that Connel values liberty. Whitney responded with "for the hunter". This statement says that Connel values equality. After that comment, Rainsford shot back with "they don't understand anything". This statement shows that Connel values liberty. Whitney responds with "even so, I think they value one thing fear.- The fear of pain and the fear of death." This shows that Connel values equality. Other than the quotes, there are two more reasons to support that Connel values both liberty and equality. These statements support that Connel values liberty. Connel values liberty because he made the main characters rich hunters. He gives Zaroff so much power, so he must value liberty. These statements support that Connel values equality. He values equality because he writes a story that the hunters tables have turned. The hunter becomes the hunted. He shows through Rainsford how animals must feel when hunters want to kill them. In this essay I stated why Connel values both liberty and equality.
