Both the film, High Noon, and the story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” share a very similar setting that affects the course of the stories. “Near a landmark of some kind-a tree or an outcropping of a rock-a man on a horseback awaits”(Foreman 288). This quote is trying to demonstrate how the closest object, feature of a landmark or town of Hadleyville is a tree, which goes to show how detached from society the setting of High Noon is. “His eyes made out the shadowy outlines of a palatial chateau: it was set on a high bluff, and on three sides of it cliffs dived down to where the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows,”(Connell 7).

Who cares how a jaguar feels”(Connell 3)? Although Whitney, as said in the quote, is a big-game hunter, he has a discussion with Rainsford and says that animals do have feelings, more specifically the fear of death.

We built it with our hands, from nothing . . . And if we want to keep it decent, keep it growing, then we got to think mighty clear here today— and we got to have the courage to do the right thing, no matter how hard it is,”( Foreman 315).

The theme of the film is responsibility to society vs. self interest, while the theme of the story is empathy for all living creatures.

Though this quote may seem short and insignificant, this citation demonstrates that Rainsford is a proficient and talented hunter, because of the fact that he has written a book, the person who read his book is extraordinary in hunting, and a mediocre hunter wouldn’t travel all the way to China just to hunt leopards. Despite the fact that Rainsford and Kane have different jobs, they are both excellent at what they do, especially being marksmen. Another similarity between the two main characters is that they are both fighting for their lives, and every minute that they stay and decide to not run away from their problems they are risking to never see another day again. Because Kane sent Miller to jail, Miller has decided to come back for revenge meaning that he plans to kill Kane, but Kane decided to stay and fight Miller and his gang. On the
