The Big Question: Is conflict necessary?

Twice in "The Most Dangerous Game," Rainsford faces life-threatening conflicts. His first conflict is with the sea, and his second conflict is with Zaroff. In an essay, compare and contrast these two conflicts, explaining how they are similar and different. Consider the following questions:

- Are the two conflicts equally unavoidable for Rainsford?
- What are Rainsford's choices when faced with each conflict?
- What, if anything, does Rainsford learn from each conflict?
- Is either conflict in some way necessary? Are both necessary? If so, how?
