In "The Most Dangerous Game", Rainsford has not lost his love for hunting, because when

Rainsford talks about hunting he explains that it's "The best sport in the world," (Connel 2). He
thinks of it as a hobby and a part of his life more than anything else. Also when Rainsford was
conversing with Zaroff when Rainsford said, "But they are men," he was mortified when Zaroff
replied, "Precisely," said the general. "That is why I use them. It gives me pleasure. They can
reason, after a fashion. So they are dangerous." (Connel 18). It shows that Rainsford was only
afraid and scared about the general's way of hunting. It did not please him what the general was
doing, he wanted "out". Rainsford talked of hunting as a practice, a way of life he wouldn't let go
of it even after he experienced what just happened, and in the end, there was no mention of him
losing that feeling or not loving hunting anymore. During the end, Rainsford says, "I am still a
beast at bay," meaning that he still has a lot of fight left in him, this shows that he is very smart
and uses his hunting tactics in real life.
