    The document theorizes that Rainsford did not actually kill General Zaroff in the story. It argues that the last line of the story does not provide clear evidence of Zaroff's death. The theory presented is that Zaroff passed out from alcohol after speaking with Rainsford, allowing Rainsford to sleep. The next morning, Rainsford found a ship to leave the island, and Zaroff was also taken off the island to stand trial for murdering innocent men.

    I don't believe Rainsford killed General Zaroff, because the last line says "He had never
    slept in a better bed, decided Rainsford." This doesn't give the reader much evidence to say that
    Rainsford killed Zaroff. My theory is that the alcohol consumption made the Genral pass out
    after talking to Tainsford, alleging Rainsford to sleep. In the morning I think that Rainsford was
    able to retrieve a ship to help get him off the island. As for Zaroff I think that he too was taken
    off the island and was sent to some country for trial because he murdered a lot of innocent men.
