The document contains questions about the short story "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell. It includes examples of different types of conflicts in the story such as man vs. man between Zarloff and Rainsford. There is also man vs. nature as Rainsford navigates the island. The title of the story has a double meaning, with "game" referring both to an animal hunted for sport, and to people, as hunting people is considered the most dangerous game. Zarloff does not see his hunting of people as immoral, believing the weak exist to give pleasure to the strong. The settings described are Zarloff's civilized house, and the dirty, suspenseful woods.
