Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game” and Golding’s Lord of the Flies, published in 1924 and 1954, respectively, first introduced the metaphor of human hunts and they depict proto-dystopian societies where the idea of cultural progress is questioned, for individuals devolve after finding themselves subjected to the rules of a wild environment. Movie adaptations of these literary works face the dilemma of fidelity because, since movies are expected to generate a significant income, the changes respond
to commercial considerations, which, paradoxically, affects the reception of the film.
