Question

At the beginning of the hunt, the author explains Rainsford’s situation as being “in a picture with a frame of water, and his operations clearly must take place within that frame” (8). How does this metaphor turn out not to be true?

Story is “The Most Dangerous Game”

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is asking us to say that the metaphor is not true.

What if you think it is true? Rainsford is on an island. He must control the situation without stepping off the island. I think it is perfectly apt way of describing in simple terms, what the object is.

These two must engage in a battle where the space is very limited. Is that not true?

Answer: I suppose the answer is; He swims around in the water to go into Zarloff's house and ambushes him there. But the metaphor is talking about the setting, not the method of resolution
