Analysis of The Most Dangerous Game

"The Most Dangerous Game" is short story written about two hunters who fight each other on a mystery island. One of them, the one who lives on the island and pits shipwrecked people in a game where he hunts them down and kill them, the other, a shipwrecked sailor who has to survive on the island.

I like the story because it an exciting read that has suspense on whether the shipwrecked sailor is going to be able to survive for three days against the other hunter, who believes himself to be above other humans, that is why he has gone beyond hunting animals and instead hunts humans.

The story has several themes, such as reason and instinct and how they fight each other, especially when the shipwrecked hunter is trying to survive. There are also some symbols, such as the island, as it effects both major characters and it is a major part of the story.

Overall, I enjoyed this story and hope to read more like it.
