Analysis of Characters
Whitney
-He seems like a normal person
-He has a bit of a conscience because he was thinking about how a jaguar would feel being hunted
-Not much is explained about him so I can't give a good analysis
-Whitney is going to Rio with Rainsford so he is just there to give backround information
-Whitney is a flat and round character because he isn't in the story long enough to change and he isn't described well
Ivan
-He is a gigantic man, very solidly built, with a black beard down to his waist, and probably strong because of his stature and job
-He answers only to General Zaroff
-His skill is with the knouter (a whip) and he helps General Zaroff with hunting humans
-He seems to be a very menacing man and the way the story portrays him, he has a bad temper
-Ivan is believable because the way his character is explained he seems he would do just that
-Ivan is a static person because he doesn't change and a relativally flat character because be isn't really described nor needed to do anything but be a servant
Sanger Rainsford
-He has good eyes as it says in the story, he is quite in shape because he could swim all the way to the island and in the end back to the mansion from the cliff he jumped off, and he is about the size of General Zaroff because Zaroff said Rainsford would find that the clothes fit
-Rainsford in the story is trying to first try to go hunting, then once he arrives at the mansion he tries to understand why a man would kill other humans for sport, and the last motive he has is to survive for three days with an incredible hunter, hunting him
-Rainsford is believable because he would do whatever anyone else in his position would do
-Rainsford is a little bit dynamic in the story. At the start he doesn't believe animals go through fear when being hunted, but in the end he knows the fear of being hunted. He is round because he is described in the story and because of what he says
General Zaroff
-General Zaroff, as it says in the story, is slightly over middle age, handsome, tall and slim, with white hair, bright black eyes, thick eyebrows, a black military moustache, and sharp pointed teeth
-Zaroff is believable because he is described just like a normal person and there most likely have been people who killed for fun before and even now
-Zaroff's motive is to have the best hunting in the world so he doesn't get bored. He is always trying to find more and more challenging people
-Zaroff is a static character because he is always trying to do the samething the whole story. Untill he dies that is. He is a round character because he is described well and because of what he says
