"Thank you, I'm a hunter, not a murderer."

The detail that best reveals that Rainsford opposes Zaroff's idea of the ideal prey is the line "Thank you, I'm a hunter, not a murderer."

Explanation:

The characters Rainsford and Zaroff belong to the short story "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell. General Zaroff is a hunter who has grown tired of killing animals. To his mind, animals no longer represent a challenge to him since they do not have the capacity to reason. Zaroff lives in an island where ships usually sink. Those who survive become his prey.

Rainsford is also a hunter, and a rather famous one. He accidentally winds up at Zaroff's door and is recognized by the general. Zaroff thinks Rainsford will excitedly join him in hunting humans, but Rainsford is very straightforward in his decline:

"Thank you, I'm a hunter, not a murderer."

Rainsford is clearly more bound by morals and values than Zaroff, which makes him incapable of killing another human being for fun.

Zaroff makes Rainsford his prey and, for three days, hunts him in the forest of the island. Rainsford outsmarts him and kills Zaroff in the end.

animal farm, written by george orwell, is a representation of russia after the revolution that led stalin to take over power.

in this excerpt, the central idea seems to be that the animals (a representation of society), when they believe to be working for a greater good and equality, are obedient and productive. they were convinced that, after expelling the owner (jones) from the farm, they would live in harmony and be fairly treated.

as we know, the pigs become the leaders and grow more selfish and dictatorial with time. in the end, they look and act in a way so similar to humans that it is impossible to tell the difference. the ideals of equality are shattered, and the farm turns out to be worse than it was before. the animals are manipulated with false propaganda and forced to work in order to enrich the pigs.
