The definition of a dynamic
character
is one who undergoes changes in his personality or attitude. By
the end of the story, Rainsford is truly a changed man. Where he earlier believed that
animals felt no fear or pain and had no understanding, Rainsford soon came to realize
that the hunted do experience the terror of being hunted. Revenge did not seem to be an
important aspect to him before becoming the subject of Zaroff's dangerous game, but when
he returned and encountered Zaroff in his bedroom, he soon resumed the hunt--this time
with Zaroff as the prey. Rainsford compromises his own sense of honor by continuing the
game, and he even seems to enjoy his new human prey, resting contentedly in Zaroff's own
comfortable bed after killing the Russian. Another change may also have overcome
Rainsford: He may have decided that hunting humans was not such a bad idea after
all.
