Pretty Little Liars
The two stories that I decided to compare and contrast were “The Most Dangerous Games” by Richard Connell and “Interlopers” by Saki. I decided to do these two stories because while reading them, I actually found interest in both books and thought they were really good short stories. I also thought that both stories were very descriptive and both sent a very powerful message.
The first similarity in both stories is someone had got eaten by an animal. In "The Most Dangerous Game" the end resulted in a fight between Rainsford and Zaroff and the loser would get fed to the dogs, while the winner would get a nice bed to sleep on. Likewise in "The Interlopers" After Ulrich and Georg met face to face, a storm struck a birch tree just right over their heads pinning both of them to the ground. Minutes after trading insults and making up, they finally thought help is on the way in the end it turns out to be wolves. Another similarity is both characters had deep hate for one another. In "The Most Dangerous Game" Rainsford hated Zaroff because he was hunting innocent men for the joy of killing them. In "The Interlopers" Ulrich Von Gradwiz hated Georg because he was hunting on his land and Georg hated Ulrich because he claims that the land was his.
In both the characters are avid hunters, and that hobby leads to the man verses man conflict. General Zaroff found his end with the help of his cockiness, and George and Ulrich von Gradwitz are killed in the forest they both see as theirs. In both stories characters are killed with something in their possession.
“And before the moment of hesitation had given way to action, a deed of Nature's own violence overwhelmed them both. A fierce shriek of the storm had been answered by a splitting crash over their heads, and ere they could leap aside, a mass of falling beech tree had thundered down on them.” from The Interlopers. This shows irony between man vs. nature, man vs. self, and man vs. man. This also goes for “The Most
