Or if the snake was able to avoid human contact and laid her eggs, would the offspring ultimately meet the consequences God’s condemned creatures deserved? Surely if seen by a human the snake would have had its head cut off never reaching the length of a pick-up truck or producing babies. These questions are what represents the underlying message of these two chapters. Our ignorance as humans is detrimental to the wilderness and animals in it.

Shortly after the man encounters the snake, it is revealed that he has never killed an animal and finds “no satisfaction in taking life”. This is very important to note as most humans haven’t done so or find satisfaction in taking life.

High Noon and The Most Dangerous Game have two similarities and one notable difference. The two protagonist character Will Kane and Sanger Rainsford are alike. Both of the men are being hunted alone.

“Woodchucks” by Adrienne Rich, and “Aunt Jennifer’s Tigers” by Maxine Kumin, are both poems with a heavy focus on animals. “Woodchucks” describe its selected animal as a pest, mentioning how they steal their food and invade their property.
