Provide examples about how Rainsford is not "guilty" in "The Most Dangerous Game."I have to write a defense thing on that. So can you help me find...

Rainsford's guilt or innocence in Richard Connell's short
story "The Most Dangerous Game" is a subjective decision that each reader of the story
must make. Did he indeed murder General Zaroff? It would be hard to defend Rainsford's
actions, since he premeditatively stalked and killed (presumably) the Russian at the
end. Certainly, Ivan's death could be considered self-defense, since both of the
Cossacks were pursuing Rainsford in the hope of killing him. But Rainsford's innocence
seems to have ended when he returned to the island and awaited Zaroff's final entry to
his bedroom.
