However, there are still many enjoyable elements for a would-be reader of the book, such as the characters in the book. While there are those of us to whom gaming is inhumane and natural, Richard Connell has sought to emphasize on human hunting as opposed to laying emphasis on the predicament of animals in the gaming as a sport. Whereas it may be naturally acceptable that someone may engage in any hunting spree as a sporting event to hunt and kill animals, the same practice could also turn out to be a disturbing and strange activity, based on the author’s unique analytical point of view on hunting from the book. The author’s use of irony helps to give a fascinating twist to what may be regarded from the outset as a rather common phenomenon: hunting as a sport. The author assumes an adventurous plot in which two notorious hunters have been pitted against one another in what can at best be regarded as ‘a life-and-death competition’. The book which has adopted various verbal art forms is in a sense, the life story of Richard Connell. Its first edition was published in 1924 by Collier’s Weekly but since then the book has on various occasions been anthologized to symbolize a characteristic narrative full of suspense and action. Richard Connell, a revered novelist and playwright, is the author of the short story, “The Most Dangerous Game” which has proved to be a literal masterpiece.
