Describe the setting of the Most Dangerous Game.How does the setting affect the main conflict, and the ending?

"The Most Dangerous Game" is set on an island somewhere in the Caribbean Sea called Ship-Trap Island, an island that has gained notoriety in sailor lore for some ominous reason, as discussed by Rainsford and Whitney in the beginning of the story. We later learn that the island is the home of General Zaroff, a Russian immigrant and avid hunter, who lures boats to the dense jungle island and hunts them for sport. The setting is necessary to the conflict because Rainsford is trapped on the island, and eventually is left with no choice but to hunt with Zaroff. Rainsford uses this setting to his advantage in the hunt, and uses the sheer cliffs surrounding the island to fake his death at the end of the story.
