Rainsford falls off the yacht and swims to an island, where he encounters a castle, and when he knocks, a man with a gun pointed at him answers the door. This is an indication of a man vs. man conflict. Rainsford doesn’t know if this stranger wants to shoot him. Then Rainsford meets Zaroff, who says he hunts bigger game, humans. This is another indication that the conflict is man versus man. A man who hunts humans is just another way to say “murderer.” The last and final indication that “The Most Dangerous Game” is an external conflict, and specifically, man versus man is that Zaroff does hunt Rainsford; for three days Rainsford must use his wits and cunning to stay one step ahead of Zaroff.
