I need to edit this, can you help me out?
As the climax ends and Rainsford fearfully “leaps far out into the sea” (26), his desperation as well as fear brings the factors of revenge as well as self-satisfaction in. When Rainsford, instead of escaping after surviving, hides behind the curtains of General Zaroff’s room, the reader surely believes that he is there to be congratulated and rewarded. However, that assumption is proved wrong with the irony of that Rainsford is not satisfied when General Zaroff congratulates him and says that he has “won the game” (27). Rainsford claims that he is “still a beast at bay” (27) and hints an upcoming battle between the two. However, Connell leaves the story with Rainsford sleeping after deciding that he has “never slept in a better bed” (28). Though the reader is left hanging, Rainsford must kill General Zaroff after all the fear, desperation, and hopelessness that he has endured.
