Question

The title The Most Dangerous Game plays on the word game. Write three to five sentences explaining the meanings of the word game and what this play on the word game means to the story.

Answer 1

A game is usually a competitive activity between two competing sides. It's a dangerous game because it's involving the attempt of a murder of Rainsford by Zaroff via hunting. It's also dangerous because of the environment in which they dwell and the other forces working towards his downfall such as Ivan and the dogs. While games are usually fun and enjoyable, the title of The Most Dangerous Game is ironic in that it's a life or death situation and a battle of wits, and it involves being chased or found like in tag or hide and seek.
