What are the differences in hunting attitudes between rainsford and Whitney in the most dangerous game?

In "The Most Dangerous Game," Rainsford and Whitney represent contrasting attitudes toward hunting. Whitney views hunting as a sport that requires compassion and respect for the prey, suggesting that animals have feelings and should not be hunted for mere pleasure. In contrast, Rainsford initially sees hunting as a purely exhilarating challenge, dismissing any moral concerns about the suffering of animals. This difference sets the stage for Rainsford’s transformation throughout the story as he confronts the reality of being hunted himself.
