The Moral of “White Fang”

This explains the moral of the book “White Fang” by Jack London.

The book White Fang by Jack London portrays the world from the point of view from a part dog part wolf by the name of White Fang. White Fang suffers innumerably at the hands of some cruel men, but found a kind loving master in the end. The moral of the book is to not do any evil, which has been demonstrated several times in the novel.

Beauty Smith, a very sinister man, committed many crimes to White Fang and was always punished. “At that moment, the newcomer’s fist landed a smashing blow full into his face” The quote shows that Beauty Smith had abused White Fang and had suffered the consequences. The consequences included getting punched around and losing White Fang. “Tried to steal you eh? And you wouldn’t have it!” This quote proves that Beauty Smith committed another crime by trying to steal White Fang back. He was ripped and torn by White Fang, who had no love for his former master.

Jim Hall also suffered for the evil that he did. “So it was, when the doom of fifty years of living death was uttered by Judge Scott that Jim Hall, hating all things in the society that misused him, rose up and raged in the courtroom until dragged down by half a dozen of his of his blue-coated enemies.” This quote shows that Jim Hall was dragged to jail because of his past crimes. Although innocent, he was still sentenced to prison partly because of his history with the police. “A gaping throat explained the manner of his death.” The quote proves that Jim Hall had died by White Fang’s teeth for trying to assassinate Judge Scott. He was caught by surprise and ripped to pieces by White Fang.
