The Most Dangerous Game
Story
What use does the story make of chance and coincidence? Are these occurences used to initiate, to complicate, or to resolve the story? How improbable are they?

I think that plot-wise the whole story hinges on chance and coincidence. This is an escape type of story where both the characters and the plot are unrealistic. We are to believe that Rainsford falls of his boat grabbing his pipe. How does a guy so seasoned in sea travel fall of his own yacht? Rainsford then coincidently ends up on an island where a crazy guy (Zaroff) loves to hunt people because he is bored of hunting animals. The famous hunter hence becomes the hunted: becomes the motif.
