"The Most Dangerous Game" features an omniscient third-person narrator. The narrator describes things from Rainsford' s perspective for most of the story but breaks away toward the end to follow General Zaroff back to his "great paneled dining hall," to his library, and then to his bedroom. A possible reason for this shift in perspective may be that Connell wants to illustrate how the hunter, Zaroff, has become the hunted.
