    I'm guessing your question concerns "The Most Dangerous Game" since that is the group your question is posted under.  The wording of your question is a bit confusing.  Do you mean three EXAMPLES that support the THEMES of the story?   I know cruelty and violence are themes in the story and in terms of topics that support it, I would assume you could consider instances, or situations, in the story which lend themselves to evidence these themes.  One could be the two men and their lack of compassion for their prey, as seen in Rainsford in the opening scene when he plainly states to Whitney "Who cares how a jaguar feels" when asked to consider his prey, and then by General Zaroff when he shows his primary concern is in dealing with a "worthy opponent", namely humans. 

    Hope this helps!  Please rephrase your question to clarify what it is you need. The terms "topic" and "thesis" are rather confusing.
