This paper uses London's works "White Fang," "Call of the Wild "and"
Sea-Wolf" as examples of how London uses wolves to represent
certain naturalistic and Darwinist facets in his works. London's use of the "wolf-dog" represents the basest of man's instincts,
survival of the fittest. In all three books, London's characters are reduced to their lowest levels as they struggle with the natural elements, and attempt to emulate the survival skills of the mighty wolf, and thereby survive in their newfound environment.
