Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game” is a thematically rich story. What is one of the complex psychological themes that t
his story deals with? a. the difference between brain and brawn
b. the disparity between emotion and intellect
c. the difference between survival and leisure
d. the disparity between reason and instinct
One of the primary themes in The Most Dangerous Game is the disparity between reason and instinct. Connell has tried to blur the lines between the two faculties and tried to demonstrate that these faculties of the human mind are not as starkly apart or clear-cut as they are thought to be. He has done this by creating enmity between Genral Zaroff and Rainsford.
