The Most Dangerous Game/Fantasy Island

Paul Henley, the hunter, from Fantasy Island lived out his fantasy of being hunted. His fantasy was not very confusing and I understood everything for the most part. He was hunted by people he had "done wrong." Although he never really did them wrong.
"The Most Dangerous Game" and Fantasy Island were alike in many ways. In both stories two men were being hunted. One by choice, Paul Henley, from Fantasy Island and one was forced to hunt, Rainsford from "The Most Dangerous Game." Also in both stories the men, Paul and Rainsford, emerge victorious. They both over come the challenges they faced while being hunted and ended up winning. Another way they are similar is that both characters were into hunting before they were hunted. They were both good at what they do, and enjoyed it very much. Although these two are similar in many ways they also had their differences for one Paul was being hunted by people he had come in contact or hurt prior to the hunt. Rainsford had never met General Zaroff, ever. Also Rainsford was only hunted by one man, instead of a series of different people like Paul Henley was. Unlike Paul, Rainsford did not have to go through more than one round or hunter to finish his challenge. Another difference between the two stories is that Paul wanted to be hunted, it was his fantasy. Rainsford did not. He accidentally landed on Ship Wreck Island, and did not want to be hunted.
