How does Rainsford's opinion on animals change throughout the story?
At first, Rainsford believes only humans can feel, but by the end, he agrees with
Whitney that animals can also feel "fear of pain" (Paragraph 13).
At first, Rainsford thinks that there is only one rational animal, humans, but then
he discovers the new animal that Zaroff has "invented" (Paragraph 100).
At first, Rainsford believes humans are smarter than animals, but then he sees
that some humans are actually "a very inferior lot" (Paragraph 131).
At first, Rainsford sees animals only as prizes for human hunters, but later
Rainsford sympathizes with the animal "at bay' when he too becomes the
hunted (Paragraph 204).
