I know the story through the many retellings but I've never read or listened to the original, until now. I loved it. It was so much to listen to the cat and mouse game. The ending was good, too.

I have some questions about the story.
1. Why can’t Rainsford just take the sea to find another island, ship, or, at the very least, avoid Zaroff?
2. It says "Rainsford had dug himself in in France when a second’s delay meant death. That had been a placid pastime compared to his digging now." What's the context?
3. In these two different sections, Rainsford climbs a tree. I don't really understand why Zaroff doesn't see him. I guess I can't visualize the scenes or the distance between Rainsford and Zaroff. A. "The baying of the hounds drew nearer, then still nearer, nearer, ever nearer. On a ridge Rainsford climbed a tree. Down a watercourse, not a quarter of a mile away, he could see the bush moving. Straining his eyes, he saw the lean figure of General Zaroff; just ahead of him Rainsford made out another figure whose wide shoulders surged through the tall jungle weeds; it was the giant Ivan, and he seemed pulled forward by some unseen force; Rainsford knew that Ivan must be holding the pack in leash." B. "He shinned excitedly up a tree and looked back. His pursuers had stopped. But the hope that was in Rainsford's brain when he climbed died, for he saw in the shallow valley that General Zaroff was still on his feet. But Ivan was not. The knife, driven by the recoil of the springing tree, had not wholly failed."
4. I think technically Rainsford hadn't won the game. See, he confronts Zaroff at 10-ish pm. That was the third day, right? Not midnight yet. If that's right, then the game isn't still on because of Rainsford's choice; it's still on because it's before midnight on the third day.
5. Suppose Rainsford had built a shelter. Would Zaroff have gone in there? It could be a trap.
