This is an escape-type story so I'm hesitant to draw any major themes out of it or lessons learned. Rainsford is victorious in his man vs man conflict against General Zaroff. Did Rainsford learn anything about empathy for animals? We are not really sure but he did get to feel what its like being hunted.
