The story "The most Dangerous Games" rotates around two characters that are assuming the part of hunter and prey. The plot of this story is how a hunter named Rainsford gets trapped in an island after he falls off his yacht and meets another character named General Zaroff.

Unexpectedly, Rainsford finds that General Zaroff is much more awful than the "rubbish" he contemptuously chases, without all feeling and humankind regardless of his appearing social
