The Island Of Dr. Moreau

The Island of Dr. Moreau. H. G. Wells. 375 Hudson Street, New York, New York 10014, USA: New American Library, September 2005. 222. The Island of Dr. Moreau by H. G. Wells is a magnificent book.

He was picked up later by a boat and taken to San Francisco but went back to England and lived on the countryside by himself for the rest of his

The first is “ just because it can be done doesn’t mean it should be done,” this appeared when Dr. Moreau was vivisecting the animals, although he was very good at it, it is still in-humane to do such things, as well as the leopard man who was a great hunter but it was against the laws of Moreau. Another theme that was present was the theme of “everything isn’t what it seems,” which also appears twice in the book.
