The short story, "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell is intense and about very many different things and ideas. It is a story about survival, hunting, trickery, and so much more. The characters are battling each other in so many ways both physically and mentally with each other throughout the story. The General is constantly trying to capture and most likely kill Raisford. At the same time, he is also trying to break Rainsford by confusing him and challenging him to stay alive. Rainsford is trying to do the same thing to the General as well by staying alive. It challenges the General in a way that he has never been challenged. He is used to being able to catch his prey very quickly. When he can't do it this time, he gets confused and tries strange tactics. And obviously the winner of this game was Rainsford, because he did not ever break.
