Explanation:

Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game" revolves around the theme of the relationship between the hunter and the prey. Through the characters of the story, Connell gives a twist in the hunter-hunted domain, making the protagonist experience the life of a hunted.

Colonel Zaroff was the owner of the "Ship Trap" island where men are hunted for sport. When Rainsford Sanger got stuck in the island and was hosted initially by the Colonel, he was treated kindly, provided with food and also gave him information about the island and even the game. The next day, when Sanger refused to join him in the hunt and told him he wanted to leave, that was when COlonel Zaroff decided to make him his new prey. The two sentences that show the decision of the colonel in making Sanger his new game are

"He saw the dead black eyes of the general on him, studying him.

General Zaroff's face suddenly brightened."
