The Analysis of the Character of Buck in The Call of Wild
Abstract: The Call of Wild is the masterpiece of Jack London, who is one of the best
novelists in the early 20 century. The canine protagonist of the story and his characters are the main factors to cause his novel perpetual, which embodies the author’s thoughts and ideas. The Call of the Wild exemplifies the features of a turn-of-the-century movement known as literary naturalism. London's own experience of poverty, grinding factory work, life on the street, and imprisonment had shown him that, for many, life was a brutal struggle for survival. A social Darwinist, influenced by the writings of Herbert Spencer, London was convinced that many of the beaten and degraded people that populated the lower strata of society were there because of hereditary and environmental circumstances effectively beyond their individual control. In this essay, it will mainly analyze the complicate characters of Buck and show why the novel has always been popular.

摘 要:杰克·伦敦作为二十世纪初最伟大的小说家之一,《野性的呼唤》是其代表作。其中故
事的主人公巴克的性格是令这部作品在读者心中长盛不衰的主要原因,而巴克的身上难免赋予了作者的思想。《野性的呼唤》展示了在世纪之交的一项文学运动-自然主义的文学特点。伦敦的贫困经历,如:抛光场的工作, 在街头露宿的日子和牢狱生活都让伦敦明白对多数人来说,生活就是为生机而努力挣扎。作为一个社会达尔文主义者,同时又受到了斯宾塞理论的影响,伦敦认为:之所以有许多社会下层的人们受打击、受压迫就是因为传统的社会环境不受个体的控制。这也在《野性的呼唤》中得到了充分的放映。本文主要对巴克的多重性格加以分析,从而展示了主人公艺术形象的永久魅力。
