There are two totally different stories called High Noon and The Most Dangerous Game. In the story, The Most Dangerous Game, written by Richard Connell, Rainsford ends up on ship-trap island and tries to survive from Zaroff, who wants to kill Rainsford. High Noon, written by Carl Foreman, Will Kane hears the news of the return of Miller and his crew and he tries to fight with them and tries to find people who are going to fight with him but nobody in the town will help him therefore he must stop them alone. It sounds it is totally different story and there really are many differences. But also, even though it seems that there will be so similarities, the actual settings, themes, characters of both stories surprisingly have many similarities. …show more content…
In The Most Dangerous Game, the author is trying to tell us is it okay to kill but not okay to kill humans. What is the big difference when it comes to killing animals for sports versus killing humans? "Why should I not use my gift? If I wish to hunt, why should I not? I hunt the scum of the earth: sailors from tramp ships—lassars, blacks, Chinese, whites, mongrels—a thoroughbred horse or hound is worth more than a score of them"(Connell 13). Also, the other theme of TMDG is that fear can change you. At the beginning of story, Rainsford is unwilling to hunt, or kill people since he think killing people is murder. But as story goes, he doesn't want to be killed by Zaroff so he changes himself and do not really think about murdering, but surviving. It shows that fear and the feelings can easily change you. In High Noon, the main theme is that who has right to kill or not. Is it okay to kill someone if he/she is not innocent? Also, one of the biggest different theme in High Noon is that the fear do not change Will Kane, the protagonist. Even though he does not find his side to fight with, he never change the decision he makes. "I've got to, that's the whole thing"(Foreman). So I can see the message that the author is trying to say through the story, and the theme could make many effects on stories
