What Are The Elements Of The Most Dangerous Game

Brief summary: The Most Dangerous Game is about hunter Sanger Rainsford, who washes up on the shore of an island called Ship Trap Island that has a terrible infamy, where he soon meets General Zaroff, who hunts human beings which is the most dangerous game for sport. Zaroff hunts Rainsford, but in the end Rainsford gets the better of him.

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

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.

Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game" is a very exciting story of a manhunt.

Although the film shares many themes and characteristics as the story, it has also changed many key factors.

A common theme in “The Most Dangerous Game” is perseverance to survive. Throughout the story, Rainsford doesn't give up. For example, when he falls off of the boat, he swims for “Ten minutes of determined effort” (Connell 3). Even when he is avoiding being killed by Zaroff, he is persevering to stay alive. When he is being chased “Rainsford forced himself on toward that gap” (Connell 14) means that he pushed forward.

Two men, one goal, survival. Life and death situations. No one has ever thought that they would be put in this situation, but these two men were.
