The Call of the Wild Literary Analysis

“THE DOMINANT PRIMORDIAl BEAST was strong in Buck, and under the fierce conditions of trail life it grew and grew” (London,27). In the novel The Call of the Wild by Jack London, Buck and the other sled-dogs face multiple challenges on their journey to find gold. Buck goes through retrogression and slowly returns to the ways of his ancestors. Buck and the sled-dog team search for gold in the Yukon, in hope to strike it rich. Buck’s retrogression to his ancestors, play a huge roll in his character. He went from being a loyal and sweet dog, to a killer. Buck had to fight the theme of the power of the primitive.

It’s insane to think that Buck retrogressed into a wild animal in such short time.
