The Most Dangerous Game

“But I said, "Dancing is a dangerous game”

Angela & Uncle Jerry discuss how the lyric 'dancing is a dangerous game' immediately reminded Uncle Jerry of Richard Connell's short story The Most Dangerous Game, about a man hunted on an island. Uncle Jerry notes the story is 'kind of famous' and often anthologized in ninth or tenth grade literature, and that it's 'not that obscure.' He hedges on whether Taylor is thinking of it specifically, saying 'I don't know if she's thinking of that. That's what I thought of it.' Angela adds that being asked to dance by a man can feel 'a little bit like you're being hunted.'
