David, who cons his way into a relationship with the most heartless woman at the Hotel, is found out and so, in order to escape death by law, he flees into the woods to save
But this is proven false. He is not hunting for food but for his own self-satisfaction: His mind was crowded with memories; memories of the knowledge that had come to them when they closed in on the struggling pig, knowledge that they had outwitted a living thing, imposed their will upon it, taken away its life like a long satisfying drink. He is unable to think about anything other than the hunt as his mind is ‘crowded with memories’ of the hunt. He is exhilarated by the thrill, excitement and danger of killing the pig. His
He places this man in a unique scenario of time travel in which Eckel and two other hunters, will have the opportunity to hunt for the most savage pre-historic reptile known to man. As the hunters make their way through time, Bradbury begins to foreshadow the underlying plot through his character Travis.

As the safari progresses, Deckle’s soon realizes that in his wasteful need of sport he has in fact put himself in a dangerous and life threatening situation. At first encounter with the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Eckel's immediately disobeys the safari leaders warnings and jumps from the suspended path; planting his feet into the earth of time passed.
Beowulf accepted with great joy and waited until later that night to go into town, because he knew without a doubt that the monster would likely be there. Hrothgar told his men to be by Beowulf’s side if he needed help. Later that night, the mead-hall was filled with Hrothgar’s men and Beowulf along with his warriors.
