Most Dangerous Game Comparison

Rainsford seems more kind than Zaroff and would not kill humans for pleasure. Rainsford thinks that the world is made up of two groups, the hunters and the hunted. He does not care about how the hunted feel until he becomes the hunted. But as he realizes what it feels like to be the hunted his perspective changes. He ends up becoming a better person because of this experience. After being the hunted, he takes more though into agreeing with what Whitney said in the beginning which was that animals may actually have feelings.

It had been a week since Rainsford managed to kill the nefarious General Zaroff. The challenging part was almost over or so it seemed. There was not a clear way for Rainsford to escape. As days passed, Rainsford tried to escape. He tried making a boat from driftwood that he found, he tried swimming, he even tried sending a signal by using a flashlight. Rainsford had become so desperate that he even tried some ridiculous plans like trying to pole vault across the ocean. As a result, Rainsford ended up having huge gashes in his left leg ,which got infected, and he had to amputate it. As days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, Rainsford had lost hope and became bitter.

The ship in the original story leaves Rainsford behind because it is the middle of the night and everyone is sleeping but in the movie to make the story more interesting was smashed to smithereens. As I mentioned above to sell tickets Hollywood has to make the story more interesting so they added a girl, her brother, a shark and multiple other crew members but what became of these people? Well to start Eve Trowbridge's, brother was Zaroff's first victim while Rainsford was on the island instead of like the story Rainsford being the one and only victim during his stay. Then instead of like the story where everyone was just fine except Rainsford in the movie Hollywood decided it would be more interesting if everyone except Rainsford died. Before I conclude, I would also like to point out that the place and Way General Zaroff was murdered was changed, in the story which I personally prefer Rainsford sneaks into the General's bedroom and surprises him where they fight in hand to hand combat to the death in the movie, however Rainsford just walks in the front door and fights with The Count and his guards until finally, he stabs the Count in the back with an arrow and
