Whenever a movie based on a book is produced, similarities must exist. It is crucial that there is correlation throughout the plot of both works in order for the story to be told. One example of a similarity between the plot of both versions of The Most Dangerous Game is that Rainsford and Zaroff were both experienced hunters. Zaroff had hunted all kinds of prey all over the world, and Rainsford was famous for his books on hunting. This made Zaroff’s hunt more enjoyable and Rainsford’s fight for his life more terrifying. Also, in both the movie and short story, Zaroff used dogs to hunt Rainsford. This illustrates that Zaroff did not exactly play fair in the story or the movie. Likewise, there are also major comparisons between the resolution of the literary work and the resolution of the motion picture. For example, in both endings, Rainsford was victorious.

The Most Dangerous Game was produced as a movie in 1932 and is very similar to the book published in 1924. Although the book and movie are very similar there are quite a few differences. I mean there was a shark attack and a big introduction scene on the boat but that wasn't in the book, but apart from that minor stuff there was one major difference between the book and movie. In the movie there is a woman named Eve with her brother on the island, this wasn't in the book. And it's not just the beginning of the movie the woman is in the plot almost for the whole movie!

This paper is being written because their was a difference in the characters in the movie and the book and this paper is going to explain those differences. For instance in the book you can tell that General Zaroff and Rainsford were way more passionate about hunting.

Another statement that will prove my point is that in the book Rainsford was playing the role of the fox when General Zaroff was hunting him which
