The Most Dangerous Game

The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell

Everyone has something they're crazy about. For me, it would be... where should I start? But, how far would you go for something you loved? Would you even murder for it?

In The Most Dangerous Game, General Zaroff, loves hunting, he's crazy about it. He'd do anything to continuously feel the enjoyment of it. And by anything, I mean anything. General Zaroff grows tired of hunting animals, he claims that hunting is losing its 'fun'. In order to keep things interesting, he finds an entirely new specie to hunt, one that will be more of a challenge. Humans. Yes, he hunts humans. General Zaroff claims an island, and names it 'Ship-Trap Island', he misleads boats to the island, traps them, forcing them to stay at the island. All on deck, are now his hunt. He nourishes them in his huge manor on the island. However, the next day they are given food, a knife, and three hours head-start on the island, before he hunts them down. But, basically, you are never getting off the island alive. If he doesn't find and hunt you down, he sends out the dogs. Not just any dogs, his ferocious guard dogs.

My interpretation of Ship-Trap Island

Terrifying, isn't it? How someone could love something so much, that he'd do anything for it. Even take the lives of innocent people, just for his pleasure.

Overall, I give The Most Dangerous Game 7/10.
