Comparing The Most Dangerous Game And High Noon

Everyone loves a good hero from Superman saves the day to Batman defeating Joker. Generally, when an enthusiastic little kid thinks of a hero, they mostly think about a fictional superhero from a comic book. Although there are many great heroes, sometimes there are heroes who do not always were that magic cape. Two noble characters from the stories “High Noon” and “The Most Dangerous Game” differ from some of the ordinary heroes we mostly portray as superheroes. Along with that, they are also more appealing due to the fact that they are just ordinary people and would not even be considered a hero by an ordinary person walking past them on the street. Although they are almost tremendously alike in heroism and theme, they differ very much in

Evidence for this is in the story “High Noon” which cites “It bakes in the sun, a rather crooked and winning street street that seems deserted now in the Sunday calm” (Foreman 288).
