Read the excerpt from part 2 of “the most dangerous game” by richard connell. what is the most likely reason the film adaptation changes this scene so that general zaroff shoots arrows at rainsford and his companion?

To add a visual that creates suspense.

Explanation:

The most likely reason why the director decided to change this scene was in order to add a visual that creates suspense. Having General Zaroff shoot arrows at Rainsford and his companion is a more compelling visual, as opposed to the subtle actions described in the text. Moreover, this would be more likely to excite and worry the audience.

imparadis't in one anothers arms  

the happier eden, shall enjoy their fill  

of bliss on bliss, while i to hell am thrust,  

where neither joy nor love, but fierce desire,  

among our other torments not the least,  

still unfulfill'd with pain of longing pines;  

yet let me not forget what i have gain'd  

from their own mouths; all is not theirs it seems:  

one fatal tree there stands of knowledge call'd,  

forbidden them to taste: knowledge forbidd'n?  

suspicious, reasonless. why should their lord  

envie them that? can it be sin to know,
