What Is The Difference Between The Most Dangerous Game And Richard Cory

Will you ever wish to have the life of someone else’s? This is a concept that is shared in three texts that presents a similar theme through many different craft moves. The three writings are “The Most Dangerous Game” and the poem “Richard Cory”, and the story “The Necklace”. However, what is really a theme?
