"The Most Dangerous Game"is a 1924 short story written by Richard Connell. It is essentially a story about a big-game hunter who is forced to swim to an isolated island in the Caribbean, upon falling off a yacht.
The main conflict of the story is that between two men - two hunters. At the very beginning of the story, Rainsford (the protagonist) mentions that there are two classes of people in the world: the hunter and the huntee. Later on, Rainsford arrives on the island and meets a sociopath, Zaroff, who likes to play a rather peculiar game - he hunts other people out of boredom. Rainsford, although he sees no point in this game, is forced to play it and becomes "the huntee" in his own terms. This game, instead of being entertaining, becomes a dangerous fight for life between the two men.
