In richard connell's short story "the most dangerous game," does zaroff give a fair chance to his human opponents in his hunting game? no, his opponents get only a hunting knife, whereas zaroff has a pistol. no, zaroff is familiar with every inch of the island, unlike his opponents. yes, his opponents get a head start of three hours against zaroff. yes, zaroff provides his opponents with all that they need to escape him. yes, zaroff gets ivan and his dogs to his opponents hide.

judy jones is an attractive woman who receives attention from many men throughout the story.   despite her beautiful appearance, she is superficial and callous.   she is an aggressive woman who goes after any man she desires but she is not happy.   she is fickle and is never satisfied.   her beauty is only skin deep.   dexter breaks down because he knows his dreams are unattainable.   he believes that wealth and physical beauty are what will make him happy.   he soon realizes that she has lost her attractive looks.   it is not all what he had planned.

i believe it is the first choice (1.)

because the major theme is(“both the wild and civilization have rules.”)

and also as u said,( based on what buck learns within the call of the wild, "both the wild and civilization have rules".this is true of humans within society as well.
