The Most Dangerous Game Sequel

One significant difference between “The Most Dangerous Game” written by Richard Connell and the film version is the way the traps are used. For example, the outcome of the Malay Man-Trap is different in the story than it is in the movie . In the story, Sanger Rainsford finds a dead tree and rests it on a smaller living tree. Rainsford’s goal is for the tree to fall on General Zaroff, but Zaroff senses the trap and jumps back, the tree blowing a hit at his shoulder rather than his head. Although this is not what Rainsford was hoping, it is good that it hit Zaroff because Rainsford has more time to run and hide while Zaroff fixes his wound. However, in the movie, Zaroff sees the trap and shoots it with an arrow, the tree falling at his feet.

A large island where the most dangerous things happened and a small town located in the Western Territory where there was war between two men both are similar and different in many ways. In the story, The Most Dangerous Game, written by Richard Connell, the main character, Rainsford, faced a situation where he had to be killed or play the game with the antagonist General Zaroff. In the film High Noon, written by Carl Foreman, the main character, Will Kane, faced a problem with the prisoner Frank Miller who soon comes back for sweet revenge. In both the film and the story, the setting and conflict are different; however, the characters are similar, which affects the plot of both stories.

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.

Resourcefulness is being able to overcome difficulties quickly and in a clever way. Resourcefulness can also be using one’s surroundings for his/her benefit with prior knowledge and experience. In Richard Connell’s short story “The Most Dangerous Game” the main character Rainsford shows these skills of resourcefulness as he tries to survive the hunt. Rainsford is an experienced big game hunter that is trapped on a tropical jungle covered island with another big game hunter, General Zaroff. Zaroff has gained so much experience in hunting, due to this he has lost interest in hunting animals and now enjoys the hunt of humans. Rainsford is put in the position to be torched or participate in a game of hunting. When Rainsford is challenged to this game of hunting he is forced to try and survive. Rainsford is able to survive the hunt because he uses his resources and prior knowledge to weaken Zaroff helping him win the hunt.

Underestimation and cruel actions lead to many things. In “The Most Dangerous Game,” author Richard Connell reveals a conflict between main characters, General Zaroff and Rainsford. Rainsford was to play the most dangerous game, created by Zaroff, because the only way to survive, is to win it, otherwise death is the only other option. As demonstrated through the use of personification, symbolism, and repetition in the story, it conveys that one should understand to never underestimate another person and remember that there will always be a consequence for the wicked things that one has done.

Marie Curie once stated, “Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.” Fear, to be afraid of something or someone. Some approach fear differently than others; some fight fear and some run from it. In Roald Dahl’s “Lamb to the Slaughter,” and Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game,” both authors create a mood to resemble how the characters are afraid to face the fear--further demonstrating the danger fear plays in the lives of the innocent.

The Most Dangerous Game was a story made by Richard Connell in 1924, and had a movie adaptation in 1932. The short story tells about a man stranded on an island by the name of Rainsford. He finds Zaroff, a general with a great lust for hunting, who hunts people and Rainsford himself going to be hunted. He then attempts to outwit the general and ends up possibly taking his place. The film tries to encapsulate the excitement and story of the original version with more enticing visual effects and mostly succeeds. Although the film shares many themes and characteristics as the story, it has also changed many key factors.

The setting that Richard Connell creates to “The Most Dangerous Game” is so important for the plot to be believable. For instance, the story needs to be on an isolated island. If the short story was not on a remote island than it would be very easy to escape from General Zaroff. So there would not be a story to tell if his captives could get away easily. Since they are on an isolated island Zaroff does not have to worry about them running or swimming away because where will they go. When Rainsford is getting hunted he thinks to himself, “He was in a picture frame, and his operations, clearly, must take place within that frame (11).” Rainsford realizes that he was trapped on the island. Another reason the setting is so important for the plot

Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game" is a very exciting story of a manhunt. This story made me think about the morality of hunting: Humans are the cleverest creatures on earth, but does it give them a license to kill the other animals and even human beings weaker than themselves? I give below a short summary of the story to set the scene and then I will explore the ethics involved in hunting as a sport. "The Most Dangerous Game" presents the story of a hunter, General Zaroff, who finds hunting human beings as the most dangerous and fascinating sport.

I believe that all lives are equal. I believe this because I read a passage about Pope Francis and what he said to congress. He said that God created everyone and if you end what he created without giving them a second chance is just not right. For example Hitler he killed millions of people but if someone would've given him a second chance to start over I bet he would.

In The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell, Rainsford learns a very important lesson about assuming. Rainsford was a hunter that said that it doesn’t matter if he and Whitney hunt the jaguar because the jaguar doesn’t really know what is happening. Later in the story, Rainsford finds out what it really feels like as a huntee’s and realizes that he should not have assumed the feelings of the animal. As Connell said on page 55, “Don’t talk rot, Whitney,” said Rainsford. “You’re a big-game hunter, not a philosopher, who cares how a jaguar feels?” Some hunters believe this as well, unless they’re like Rainsford.
