Comparative Essay Comparing The Most Dangerous Game And The Cask Of Amontillado

Being too prideful can really affect you, it can make you seem like a jerk and people will ditch you and despise you. In the three stories we have read, Rainsford, Montresor, and Madame.Loisel was over prideful of themselves, which led to their downfall and to hurt people as well in the process. In “The Necklace” By Guy De Maupassant, the Madame Loisel was focusing too much on class and she was over prideful that she lost her necklace. In “The Most Dangerous Game” By Richard Connell, Rainsford was too prideful in being a good hunter that he was hunted. And in “The Cask Of Amontillado” By Edgar Allen Poe Montresor was over prideful in himself that because he was roasted he killed Fortunato. Being too prideful can hurt you and the people around

In “The Necklace” it states, “She danced madly, wildly, drunk with pleasure, giving no thought to anything in the triumph of her beauty, the pride of her success,” (De Maupassant 213) To clarify, she is overwhelmed with happiness and is over prideful and is just thinking about herself and not thinking about her husband or if she had lost something. As well as not paying any attention to what is going on. In “The Most Dangerous Game” it states “Rainsford did not smile. “I am still a beast at bay,” he said, in a low, hoarse voice. “Get ready general Zaroff” (Connell 74). This shows that instead of Rainsford returning he wanted to get rid of Zaroff. Also, this shows that instead of Rainsford just left he wanted to go home happy. In the story “The Cask Of Amontillado” It states “But, when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge”(Poe 344). This shows that instead of Montressor dealing with it or taking it as a joke he wants to kill him to gain himself self-pride and he could be satisfied.As Well as this is insane as where I live over here in Paterson if you get roasted you just go with the flow you don't start planning to kill someone over it. So the next time you see yourself over prideful tone it down a bit but not too much it's good to have some pride but doesn't overdo it as it can affect you like the people in these
