Abstract :
This thesis is a textual interpretation of novel The Sea-Wolf by Jack London. In the analysis, I use intrinsic and extrinsic elements which are supported by library research to prove the theme. Jack London was born in 1876 in San Francisco, California. His formal education was sporadic and included two years of high school and one semester at the University of California. At seventeen, he signed on a sealing vessel as an able seaman. Two years later, he joined the gold rush and hiked across the United States and Canada to the Klondike. He was also a correspondent during the Russo-Japanese War. In such conditions, he gained a lot of experiences. So it is no wonder that, many of his writing were partly autobiographical. In 1899, the Atlantic Monthly published his first story, "An Odyssey of the North." The Son of the Wolf, a volume of short stories, was published in 1900. The Call of the Wild made the bestseller list in 1903. A score of novels followed-The Sea Wolf, White Fang (1906), Martin Eden ( 1909)-underscoring London's personal conflict of ideals: a love of individuality matched against his growing concern for the plight of the masses. In 1908, he published The Iron Heel, considered by many to be a remarkable anticipation of fascism. 1
