High Noon Movie Comparison
I have recently watched a movie called High Noon and just read a short story called "The Most Dangerous Game." High Noon came out in theaters in 1952 and is about a Marshall who has four criminals who want revenge on him for putting one of them in jail. It has cowboys and gun fights in the Old West. "The Most Dangerous Game" came out in 1924 and is about hunting and the main character surviving all by himself. Both of these stories are very well told and partly have suspense.

This was said by one of Will Kane's best friends. Earlier in the movie he was at his wedding as his best man. Not even his best friend would help him against his enemies. Even when you think you know someone, you never do. People change very quick. Will Kane thought everyone loved him and would risk there life for him, but he was wrong. Not nearly as many people volunteered as he wanted. In the short story the theme is hunting is bad. Rainsford was a very big hunter and didn't think animals had feelings. He then became the hunted and realized how horrifying it is for the animals. "Rainsford knew now how an animal at bay feels" (Connell 231). In my opinion I think he realized how bad the sport is and retired as a hunter. There is one theme present in both stories. This was "Kill or be Killed," and showed that both characters had to defend themselves by hurting others. Kane had to kill four men because they wanted to kill him. He rather is be then than him. Although Rainsford didn't have to kill the bad guy in the end he still had to survive throughout the story. This is why he was trying to kill the bad
