"Don't talk rot, Whitney," said Rainsford. "You're a big-game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels?" (1.10)
Rainsford definitely functions under the man vs. nature model. He does sort of concede here that a jaguar feels, just that he doesn’t care how it feels.
Quote 5
Rainsford had fought his way through the bush for two hours. "I must keep my nerve. I must keep my nerve," he said through tight teeth. (2.1)
Rainsford has to keep his game face on here. Do you think he keeps it together?
Quote 6
"I will not lose my nerve. I will not." (2.10)
Rainsford has to give himself a little pep talk. Why does Connell have him speak out loud and not just think these things to himself? After all, we do have an omniscient narrator.
