Most Dangerous Game Vs High Noon Essay

The two stories High Noon, and "the Most Dangerous Game" are very different, but also very similar. High Noon is about a sheriff who must protect his town from a bad guy. The most dangerous game is about a very well-known hunter. He falls off a yacht and swims to the mysterious Ship-Trap island. On that island is a very skilled hunter who hunts humans. In both stories there is only one way out and that is to survive/win. One thing they have in common is the setting. For example, they are both isolated. "Countryside-on the moving train"(Foreman 326). The only way out of Hadleyville is the train. "Mirage" thought Rainsford but it was no mirage, he found when he opened the tall spiked iron gate. The stone steps were real enough; the stone steps were real enough; the massive door with a leering gargoyle for a knocker was real enough; yet it hung in all unreality" (Connell ). This quote shows how surprised he is when he finds a mansion in the middle of the island not just any island though its ship-trap island in the middle of the ocean. The only way out for Rainsford "one of the main characters in "the Most Dangerous Game" is a boat. But the setting is also different. For example High Noon is in the old west and it's in the desert. And "the Most Dangerous Game" takes place
on an island in the 1920's. This paragraph tells you how the setting is similar in both stories. The characters in the two stories are different.
"Im not trying to be a hero if you think I like this, you are crazy. Amy look, this is my town"(Foreman 296). This proves that Kane the main character in High Noon shows emotion. "The world is made up of two different classes- the hunters and the hunted, luckily you and I are hunters" (Connell 212). This shows that the characters in "the Most Dangerous Game" just throw away their feelings, it's as if they didn't have any feelings at all. Also for High Noon, Kane has never run in his life. The first time he did he couldn't he had to go back to protect his town. This shows how the stories are different because one shows feeling and one
doesn't. The two stories have very similar conflict and here is why. " You'll find this game is worth playing your brain against mine, your bush-craft against mine, your strength and stamina against mine" (Connell 225). The game is you get a three hour head start after that he will come hunting for u if you survive three days you win. "If he does come, and we run they'll just come after us" (Foreman 296). For both of them even if they run they will be hunted down. And that is why the conflict is similar. If you don't win you are dead but if you survive you will win. Also the settings are both located in extremely isolated places. The main characters are very different. They are different because one shows emotion the other one doesn't. Even if they do run they still will be hunted down, hunt or be hunted. The stories are different but also similar.
