What are five main events in "The Most Dangerous Game?"

I disagree that those are the 5 major events because your major events must establish your conflict as well as provide support to its development.  Also, a major event must include the climax of the story and represent how the character changed as a result.


That said the 5 major events would be as follows:


Rainsford and Whitney have a discussion about hunting.  The perspective of the hunter and the hunted. This is our first conflict man vs. self.  Right or wrong to hunt for sport.


Rainsford falls overboard in the darkness of night.  Man vs Nature.



Rainsford discovers the "palital chateau" of General Zaroff and is welcomed as a celebrated hunter.


Rainsford discovers the "new game" that General Zaroff has invented and chooses not to participate in the hunt.


Rainsford becomes the hunted rather than the hunter and understands the true meaning of fear.
