The "promise" made by Zaroff is that Rainsford will be allowed to leave the island if he manages to evade Zaroff in the hunt for three days; however, the reader is left to make a judgment call as to whether he is to be trusted or not. Please do keep in mind that this is the same man who hunts people for fun; in the end, we are left, once again, to make a decision. What does Rainsford do with Zaroff in the end, once he has him at his mercy in Zaroff's bedroom? Do you release a master hunter back into the jungle and give him the opportunity to hunt you down again, or do you become a killer yourself and sleep at peace?
