Most Dangerous Game Movie And Book Similarities
Most all movies that come off of books or all the books that come off of movies, have similarities and differences. Sometimes the plot or the stand out of the book is a lot different. In the book we read and the movie we watched there were a lot of differences.Therefore, the integrity of the story is affected by the many difference and similarities in the areas of initiating event characterization, and plot between the story and movie The Most Dangerous Game.

The plot of the movie was basically a love story, where the plot of the story was basically Zaroff's love for hunting. I think the the movie being a love story changed the whole purpose of the story or the plot because the movie really wasn’t about the killing it was the two of them

    While one may look at Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game" and Ernest Hemmingway's "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" and pass them off as basically the same, he should be reminded of the cliché "don't judge a book by its cover." Although both are short stories, each work encompasses a number of elements that are characteristically associated with either commercial or literary fiction. By evaluating the author's use of elements of fiction, such as plot, theme, and characterization, and the literary devices diction, figurative language, and detail, one can come to the conclusion that neither story is better than the other.…

    Richard Connell, the author of, "The Most Dangerous Game," depicts the theme, the most dangerous things are often well hidden; you never fully know how dangerous something is until it is right in your face and the hints are all out.
