The themes High Noon and The Most Dangerous Game are actually mostly alike.

In The Most Dangerous Game, Zaroff doesn't care about anyone or anything, and only shows the slightest bit of emotion when Rainsford kills one of his best dogs. "'You've done well, Rainsford,' the voice of the general called. 'Your Burmese tiger pit has claimed one of my best dogs. Again you score, I think, Mr. Rainsford.'" This happened again when Ivan gets killed. General Zaroff stops for a moment, and then moves on like Ivan was just another one of his toys that had to be replaced. In High Noon, Will Kane is left for dead by his friends and then told to leave the town. Also, he gets no help from anybody when they learn that Frank Miller is coming back to town to kill him.

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
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
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 Most Dangerous Game", which is a short story about a man named Rainsford who has to fight for his survival. High Noon and "The Most Dangerous Game" have similar main characters and similar story patterns, but have a different overall theme.
In all three stories, setting is a literary element. There may be details in each story that is shared between them, or maybe not. For example, in “Liberty” it states that the story takes place in the Dominican Republic. The other two stories do not. On page 56 (building background), it says, “It mostly takes place in the Dominican Republic.” While “Liberty” takes place in the Dominican Republic, “Harrison Bergeron” the setting, or year is in 2081. Page 69 says, “The year was 2081 and everyone was finally equal…” The story, “The most dangerous game” was taken place on an island. An island of the name, “Ship-Trap Island”. It states on page 19, “What island is it? – Rainsford Asked. ‘The old charts call it ship trap island.” While there are many differences, there doesn’t seem to be too many similarities.

At first richard finds hunting humans a problem because he considers it murder but then close to the end rainsford wants to turn the tables and hunt General Zaroff because he has found the fun in hunting humans.

The book even goes as far to say that Rainsford loved hunting like a sport and that all he did was hunt , but in the movie He is too worried about Eve to focus on the true issue at hand. The characters have a difference in the way the act when comparing the book and the movie. This side of the argument can be proven because there were things in the story that didn't even happen in the book. For instance in the movie there were two people that never appeared in the book. One was a female named Eva and the other was a man and nobody even knew his name. On the other hand in the book there was only the main characters , General Zaroff , Rainsford , Ivan , and Whitney. Another statement that will prove my point is that in the book Rainsford was playing the role of the fox when General Zaroff was hunting him which

It isn 't very busy because of how small the town is, and the fact that it is in the middle of a desert. The only way in and out of the town is by train and not many people want to go into the desert, so the town doesn 't have many visitors.

Dense jungle came down to the very edge of the cliffs" (Connell 214). This quote
