Themes
Naturalismu a head start
Throughout White Fang, Jack Londonus the theme of naturalism. Generally, naturalism refers to tho who viewed life strictly from a scientific approach; in this ca that translat
es to the view that man and other creatures were victims of their heredity and environment. The environmental theme is signaled at the ont of White Fangas London vividly describes the landscape, paradoxically combining a foreboding animism with a sinister desolation. With the environmental theme in mind, this novel is written with biological and social determinism, and London insists that although Beauty Smithwas "a monstrosity the blame of it lay elwhere.He was not responsible." Jim Hallis also portrayed as a victim of his environment, not responsible for his actions. White Fang's heredity is carefully defined, "one-fourth dog, three-fourths wolf,"leading up to the struggle within him between his civilized impuls and his wild ones. London is also particularly careful to adhere to established facts of a wolf's life cycle in White Fang's early years.
