Plot Summary[]
References[]
There are some notable thematic similarities between this story and Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game", though whether this was intentionally done by the writers is unknown.
Pitting people against one another or against animals for entertainment is also a fairly common spectator sport, especially in antiquity, such as the gladiatorial spectacles. These types of activities are collectively known as blood sports.
