Board Game Vs. Monopoly

The Mickey Mouse Monopoly documentary reveals the obscure social messages behind the animated films created by the Disney Company. Although we are conditioned to believe that these movies are pure forms of entertainment, further examination has proved that there are hidden messages concerning gender, race and class that Disney is instilling in the minds of children.

“The Lottery by Shirley” Jackson and “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell shed light upon the human nature and its indifference to suffering until they become the suffer. The stories tell realistically what happens when a society decides to become the jury and judge on the value of human life. Both stories have haunting comparisons that deal with immorality.

The Most Dangerous Game has the character Rainsford speaking about the animals he hunts. The dreary feel of the crew and the murk of the night add suspense to what is held beyond the fog. The conversation between Rainsford and The General Zaroff is a precursor for an intriguing climax. “The Lottery” begins its story with a simple town setting and villagers coming together for a lottery.

Every year there is the ritual of the choosing and the stoning

“The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson and “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell are both stories about humans hunting humans. Jackson’s approach to this is by staging a lottery to choose a citizen to be sacrificed, whereas “The Most Dangerous Game” has a man who hunts humans on his private island.

If the game were to be played different, for example some players start of wealthy while other players start off poor, the real life application may be accurate. A professor from Pennsylvania State University tested 50 students with the poor and rich elements. As suspected, the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer.
