Kim, Jee Yeon. “Community crisis and relationship restoration in White Fang.” Modern Studies in English Language & Literature 68.1(2024): 41-60. This paper analyzes Jack London's White Fang through exploring the intricate relationship between humans and nature in the perspective of ecological criticism. London's unique narrative style anthropomorphizes animals, placing them in their natural environments, thus challenging the anthropocentric view of human dominance over nature. The study reinterprets London's work, typically seen as American naturalism influenced by Marxism and Darwinism, and argues that his portrayal of nature goes beyond naturalism, presenting an insightful ecological view. This shift from a naturalistic to an ecocritical interpretation of London's work reflects growing environmental awareness and aligns with the current need for ecological consciousness. Focusing on "White Fang," the paper explores London's representation of the natural world's beauty and the complex interactions between humans and the environment. It contributes to the discussion on humanity's place within nature, reevaluating London's work in light of contemporary ecological challenges and exploring pathways towards harmonious coexistence with nature. Furthermore, it underscores the relevance of London's narrative in today's context, advocating for a deeper understanding and appreciation of our interconnectedness with the natural world.
