EXAMPLE:
In "The Most Dangerous Game," the character of Rainsford clearly values liberty over equality.
In the beginning of the story, Rainsford proves himself to be a wealthy hunter who cares little for others' feelings or opinions. When Whitney proposes that a hunted jaguar might feel fear, he responds, "Bah! They've no understanding!" He also calls the sailors' fears about Ship-trap Island "pure imagination." He hardly stops to think that other people might have opinions other than his own. At the end of the story, Rainsford is still single-mindedly focused on his own needs and desires. Even though he condemns murder, he kills both Ivan and Zaroff without a second thought. In fact, after two murders, he sleeps soundly: "He had never slept in a better bed." The ending almost suggests that Rainsford has taken over Zaroff's position as a hunter-of-men on the island. There is no evidence to suggest that he has had a change of heart about hunting or about his responsibility to others (such as the sailors still trapped on the island). Because Rainsford always pursues his own desires and never stops to consider others, it's clear that he cares more for liberty than equality.
