After reading the excerpt represented above It is not absolutely clear for me, I have stuck with two answers. It is getting really difficult to decide because you didn’t share the options to the excerpt. So I bet that theme of Richard Connell’s story “The Most Dangerous Game” that comes through in the text above is <em>survival of the fittest.</em> I also thought about reason versus instinct theme, but the first one looks more suitable according to the excerpt. Hope it will help you.
