In about 100 words, discuss the use of point of view in "The Most Dangerous Game"

Answer and Explanation:

"The Most Dangerous Game" is a short story by author Richard Connell. Its plot revolves around the face-off between two hunters, Rainsford and Zaroff. The narrator unveils the events from a third-person omniscient point of view. Even though he does not linger on the description of feelings, the narrator is constantly revealing the characters' thoughts, as we can see in the excerpts below:

"It's so dark," he thought, "that I could sleep without closing my eyes; the night would be my eyelids--"

"Mirage," thought Rainsford. But it was no mirage, he found, when he opened the tall spiked iron gate.

General Zaroff had an exceedingly good dinner in his great paneled dining hall that evening. With it he had a bottle of Pol Roger and half a bottle of Chambertin. Two slight annoyances kept him from perfect enjoyment. One was the thought that it would be difficult to replace Ivan; the other was that his quarry had escaped him; of course, the American hadn't played the game--so thought the general as he tasted his after-dinner liqueur.

Because of this perspective, the narrator can let us know the characters a bit better than a third-person limited would. We have glimpses of their minds, we get a sense of their personalities. Much is developed through their dialogues, that is true, but it is their thoughts that help us anticipate actions and behaviors.
