A movie and a story, containing death at its heart, puts two characters through challenging settings that provides layers of conflicts that makes it difficult to keep their lives. In the story, The Most Dangerous Game, written by Richard Connell, is based off of a world famous hunter named Sanger Rainsford, is stuck on an island with another experienced hunter, General Zaroff, who wants to kill him. In the movie, High Noon, written by Carl Foreman, takes place in an western town that contains a marshal, Will Kane, who is facing death in the eyes at noon, has to get all the help he can get. They both contain the 3 factors, character, setting, and conflict, that are similar but are in different situations.

In High Noon, Will Kane is trying to hide from Frank Miller, who is trying to hunt him down in order to proceed with acting on his vengeful motive of killing him. "They-they pardoned Frank Mitchell" (Foreman 54). Frank Miller has just been released from jail and Kane has the choice of either omitting himself from the situation and leaving town or staying to deal with Frank. In "The Most Dangerous Game", Rainsford is informed that General Zarroff will be hunting him for fun and the chance of survival is slim. "Rainsford had fought his way through the bush for two hours" (Connell 226). After leaving the chateau, Rainsford began scouring the island frantically, desperately thinking of how to dodge Zarroff. In both positions, the men are faced with the need to run to escape a predator, and they're both being

“What’s a hundred miles, even? They’d come after us. We’d have to run again long as we live” (Foreman 296). Kane is saying that no matter how much he tries, he will never be safe. He knows that wherever he goes, he is going to be followed by Frank. “Off there to the knight - somewhere- is a large island said Whitney” (Connell 211). Once Rainsford was on the island there was no chance of getting off of it unless he won the game. The island was really ominous and in the middle of the ocean. For Rainsford there was literally no possible to escape and survive, and Kane was never going to be free if he ran, he was going to be hunted down over and over

The movie High Noon written by Carl Foreman and the short story “The Most Dangerous Game” by Rich Connell are both fantastic stories that contain a fairly different plot, but they also have a few similarities. High Noon takes place in a small remote area called Hadleyville, and tells the story of the towns Marshal. His name is Will Kane and he is a brave character that doesn’t stand down. Recently he married Amy, who is also a Quaker, but conflict appears when Frank Miller, who is the man Kane sent to jail, is coming back to town. Another problem he has trouble swearing in deputies and has to fight Frank and his gang alone.

As you can see from this quote in the movie High Noon " You didn't have to come to me. I was ready, I'm ready now! But this is different, this ain't what you said it was gonna be, this is just plain committing suicide" (Foreman 322-323). This shows how the deputies he had at the time said they were ready to go until they heard who was coming to fight. The deadliest gang in all of the westerns. Is coming to town to get their revenge on Kane. No one had the guts to go up with Kane and challenge them. There were people there to help but no one choose to. In the story "The most Dangerous Game" Rainsford is on an abandoned island that who ever goes there ends up dying by Zaroffs hand. He say it will be a fair fight. "You'll find this game worth playing," the general said enthusiastically. "Your Brain ,against mine. Your woodcraft against mine. Your strength and stamina against mine. A game of outdoor chess" (Connell 225). It will be like chess but fighting by himself for his own

The movie High Noon written by Carl Foreman and the short story “The Most Dangerous Game” by Rich Connell are both really good stories that contain a fairly different plot, but they also have some similarities. High Noon is about Will Kane, who is a Marshal in a town called Hadleyville. He is a brave character that doesn’t stand down. He recently got married to a Quaker, but conflict appears when Frank Miller, who is the man Kane sent to jail, is coming back to town. Also he has trouble swearing in deputies and has to fight Frank and his gang alone.

A rather obvious conflict being that all odds seem to favor the villains, not to mention the fact that the main characters face their problems all alone. Will Kane must fend off Frank and his lawless gang on his own. Sanger Rainsford has to survive against one of the best hunters in the world, a man yielding a pistol and hounds, in a jungle with barely anything to help him. Another major problem would be the value of time. In High Noon, when Amy attempted to plead with Kane, he answered, “What’s an hour?... What’s a hundred miles, even?... They’d come after us. We’d have to run again. Long as we live” (Foreman 296). Will already knew what would happen if he ran, and he had already accepted the challenge. He had an hour — 60 minuets — to find deputies and prepare for the threat, the very real threat of Frank Miller’s revenge. General Zaroff explains his game to Rainsford saying, “If my quarry eludes me for three whole days, he wins the game. If I find him he loses” (Connell 14). Here, the General explains that Rainsford merely has three days to outsmart possibly the smartest sportsman of his time. The conflicts of time and advantage serve as the greatest trial in both

It’s the film, High Noon versus “The Most Dangerous Game”! If you don’t know what High Noon is, it’s about Will, who is the protagonist, is coming back to town to fight Frank, who is the antagonist, and his gang to finish their fight once and for all. Now about “The Most Dangerous Game”, it’s about Rainsford, who is trapped on an island and the protagonist, fights Zaroff, who is the antagonist, to survive in this jungle-like island. The 2 stories of the film and the short story have many similarities and differences. Such resemblance are the theme and the main characters while there is a difference in the setting.

Both high noon and the most dangerous game have a lot of similarities, Will Kane was leaving

“We are all a Lost Generation”; is the opening epigraph to the Roman A Clef styled novel The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway has many different themes throughout the book, some of them being Robert Cohn’s guidebook The Purple Land, and the alcohol presence in Jake’s life. Many times throughout the book these themes can and do collide.

The theme of the book The Crown of Midnight is to stand up for what you believe in. All of the character’s stand up for what they believe in, even when they know it might not be accepted. Celeana, Chaol, and Dorian all make a fight for what they think is right.
