Most Dangerous Game

There are also the some other details the film was different

In “The Most Dangerous Game” I believe that Zaroff’s treatment of Rainsford was unjustified. It is uncalled for that Rainsford is treated this way when he is a stranded huntsman that wonders to the island he should be helped to leave the island or be cared for if he does not wish to leave the island. Zaroff even says that he has read Rainsford’s book and that in itself should be a large form of respect if you have read the man’s book. Then not only that but what Zaroff is doing is in whole wrong and should not be going on. What he is doing is cold blooded murder and there is no way around that.

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! So this change kind of puts a twist on the story and makes the book and movie very different, mainly because the focus isn't just on Rainsford and General Zaroff, it's on Eve as well!

The conflicts in both stories are relatively similar. Overall, they both include death and antagonists with unfair advantages. "One almost did win, I eventually had to use the dogs" (Connell 14). This citation from The Most Dangerous Game refers to General Zaroff's hunting game. It means that whenever someone is winning his game, Zaroff cheats and uses his dogs to kill them. This is an unfair advantage because Rainsford is all on his own while Zaroff has help from both his

In the movie Rainsford is not as passionate he does not talk about hunting like he did in the short story. Because in the short story he loved talking about hunting it was all he talked about, but in the movie he would talk about other things like why zaroff would play the piano and he would talk to the other two people there. But in the story he would only talk about hunting to Zaroff. The way Zaroff is different is, How he acts to the people- like before he would go out to hunt he would give them a whole day, but in the short story it says he only gives them three hours before he goes out. So in the movie it shows how he is nice because of how much time he gives before he starts going out to hunt

The Book the most Dangerous Game is about Rainsford who is a hunter that got stranded on an island. He looks around the Island in search of other people so he can get food and a place to sleep for the night. While searching he is able to find a manor of sorts that has General Zaroff, a man who says to him that the only way to escape the island is to beat him in a hunt. What kind of characters are Rainsford and General Zaroff though? Both General Zaroff and Rainsford are similar in a few ways but they are both very different kinds of characters.

A very important similarity between the stories, is that they both are in the view point of a Union soldier in the nineteenth century, during the civil war. The similarities between these two books combine the ideals of battle and war, also the resemblances show how alike the two protagonists of the stories are.

For example, in The Most Dangerous Game, Rainsford is stuck on a tropical island, while Kane is in a small town in the middle of the desert. On the island, there are no people other than Rainsford, Zaroff, Ivan, and a few of Zaroff's salves. There is also no way of getting off of the island other than by beating Zaroff in his game. The story also takes place in the 1920's. In High Noon, there are people (even though none of them will help), and there is a way out of the town. The story takes place in 1899, which is another difference. Even with all of these differences, there are still a few similarities in the settings of these stories. For example, in both of the stories, the main characters are isolated and are in places that can get quite hot at times. Both the stories also take place a long time ago. Because of all the similarities and differences, it is hard to tell if the the stories are more alike or different than one

In the movie "The Most Dangerous Game" there were some distinct differences from the original story. Some of the main differences were found in the characters and the exposition. For example, in the movie, characters are added and some of the names or titles of people were changed.

First, let’s look at the characters. By comparing the original text and film, we can easily find the director made some adjustments

In both the story and the film, they had different settings which made each of them different and unique in there own ways. " He saw no sign of a trail through the closely knit web of weeds and trees; it was easier to go along the shore, and Rainsford floundered along by the water" (Connell). As we can see in the citation, the setting in The Most Dangerous Game took place in a tropical island filled with trees and weeds. It was more easier to play the game because it was isolated and had more objects/plants to hide

The similarities they are the characters are in a dangerous situation, like when Eckles gets scared he steps off the path and ruins history, also Plumwood got attacked by a crocodile and had no one around to help. Also both did not think about the consequences of their trip and didn’t think about it to the fullest. In “A Sound of Thunder” Eckels says “This is too much for me to handle,” both characters didn’t think about what could happen to them and it became too much for them to handle. The setting also leads to the conflict because since they shouldn’t be in the setting it lead to the attacks which are the conflicts. A difference is in “A Sound of Thunder” Eckels actions changed the whole future but in “Being Prey” Plumwood’s actions changed only her future. That’s how the two stories share some similarities and a difference about the

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 difficulty he experiences getting back to the island emphasizes how vulnerable and how weak humans are when confronted by natural forces. The connection between literature and life is that I feel like if I would be put in those situations between life and death I would be impatient and hesitant, the reason I believe that is because rainsford is an accomplished hunter and they are used to those environments and he still had to remind himself to be calm and to not lose his

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. He was the first person to
