Ms. Melville
The author, Richard Connell, believes more in equality than liberty. In the beginning of the story, Connell made it so that Rainsford was for liberty, to a certain extent. You could tell Rainsford valued liberty because he was a big-game hunter who said, "Who cares how a jaguar feels?". He also says, "Bah! They've no understanding." Towards the end of the story, Connell makes it so that Rainsford changes and wins everything. He killed General Zaroff, and then the text says, "Rainsford decided he had never slept in a better bed". This obviously means the good guy won. If Connell valued liberty more than equality, he would've made Zaroff win at the end. That's where the bad guy would've won in the end. In conclusion, this is why Connell values equality over liberty.
