Together with his other dogsand his friends Pete and Hans, he and Buck wander in the wilderness,hunting and fishing and living off the land, until they reach ashallow place in a valley full of gold. The men earn thousands ofdollars a day panning for gold, and the dogs have nothing to do.Buck begins to feel wild yearnings. One night, he springs up fromsleep with a start, hearing a call from the forest. He dashes throughthe woods and finds a timber wolf, one-third his size. Buck beginsto circle the wolf and make friendly advances, but the wolf is afraid.

Finally, the two show their friendship by sniffing noses,and the wolf leads Buck away through the forest. They stop to drink,and Buck remembers John Thornton. The wolf encourages him to keep following,but Buck starts back toward the camp. When he arrives, Thorntonis eating dinner, and Buck showers him with affection. For two days,he never allows Thornton out of his sight. Then, he hears the callmore loudly than ever and is haunted by recollections of his wildfriend. He begins to stay away from the camp for days at a time,hunting his own food.

Buck has two identities at this point: one as sled dogin Thornton's camp, another as wild hunter in the forest. He killsa bear and fishes for salmon the river; when the moose come in thefall, Buck hunts them eagerly. He cuts a bull away from the packto kill him and finally brings him down after four days. Then heheads back to the camp. On the way, he feels a strange stirringin the wilderness, of something new abroad, and he feels a premonitionof calamity. His feeling is proven correct when he finds Thornton'sdog Nig and one of the dogs bought in Dawson, both dying on thetrail. As he approaches the camp, he sees Hans lying facedown, arrowscovering him. He peers out to where the lodge had been and seesYeehat Indians dancing in the wreckage. Buck charges, cutting theirthroats with his fangs and killing several of them.

Analysis

Early in this chapter, Buck's vision of primitive manrecurs, and this time, he sees himself running alongside the 'hairyman,' hunting with him in the forest, and guarding him while hesleeps. In these images, London once again emphasizes the primitivenature of the man-dog relationship and the strength of the bondthat ties Buck to John Thornton. But the bond is constantly testedby the equally strong call that draws Buck away from human lifeand deeper into the wilderness—a call that fills Buck with 'a greatunrest and strange desires.' As Thornton and his friends sift forgold in the wild, Buck's soul is in a state of extreme tension,torn between his loyalty to his master and his destiny as a wildanimal.

His encounter with the timber wolf, whose smallness remindsus of Buck's remarkable size and power, is an important step inhis development as a wild creature, since it offers the promiseof a community of wild creatures. Buck need not be alone in thewild; he can find companionship not only from humans and dogs butalso in the tight-knit world of the pack. Meanwhile, Buck's longhunt of the moose enables London to emphasize the importance ofwhat he terms 'blood-longing' in Buck; once again, the novel emphasizes thekill-or-be-killed nature of life in the wild and shows us how Buck,the 'dominant primordial beast,' is the ultimate killer. 'He wasa killer,' the novel insists, 'a thing that preyed, living on the thingsthat lived, unaided, alone, by virtue of his own strength and prowess,surviving triumphantly in a hostile environment where only the strongsurvive.' These sentiments are the language of Darwin and Nietzsche,portraying life as an unceasing struggle for survival in which onlythe strong—only the Bucks of the world—can last for long.

Call Of The Wild Movie

Call of the Wild is a 1935 American adventure film, an adaptation of Jack London's 1903 novel The Call of the Wild. The film is directed by William A. Wellman, and stars Clark Gable, Loretta Young and Jack Oakie. The screenplay by Gene Fowler and Leonard Praskins omits all but one of the book's storylines.

Plot[edit]

In Skagway in 1900, Jack Thornton announces to a crowded bar that he is going home after striking it rich in the gold fields. However, he loses most of his money gambling first. Then he runs into an old pal, 'Shorty' Hoolihan, just released from jail after serving a sentence for reading other people's mail. Shorty tells Jack that the contents of one letter he read is worth a million dollars. It contained a map to a rich gold strike; prospector Martin Blake died before he could stake his claim to it, but the letter was mailed to his son John. Shorty had to eat the map when he was apprehended, but tried to reconstruct it as best he could from memory.

His luck changes when he pays $250 for Buck, a savage St. Bernard dog, to keep him from being shot by an arrogant Englishman named Smith. Jack and Shorty head off for the Yukon with the map, Buck and other dogs. Along the way, they rescue Claire Blake from wolves. Her husband is Martin Blake's son and had the original map; he left to look for food and did not return. She refuses to leave without determining John's fate, but Jack drags her away. Sharing the hardships of the trail on their way to Dawson, her initial loathing of Jack gradually melts away.

Once they reach Dawson, Jack proposes she join forces with them, as she knows what parts of Shorty's map are wrong. She agrees. However, they still need a stake. Smith bets a thousand dollars against Buck that the dog cannot pull a heavily loaded sled weighing thousand pounds a hundred yards. Buck manages the feat, enabling them to buy what they need.

After the trio set out in search of Martin Blake's find, a barely alive John Blake is found and brought in. He talks Smith into backing him and joining him on the trail to the site, but does not trust the Englishman and his two henchmen.

The three reach their destination and find it to be all they had hoped. Shorty leaves to file a claim. Jack and Claire wait and eventually acknowledge their love for each other. Buck, in the meantime, feels a strong urge to join a pack of wolves; he frequently leaves to spend time with a female wolf.

When Blake and Smith reach the site, Smith has Blake strangled, then holds Jack and Claire at gunpoint. The intruders take the gold they have already gathered and destroy anything that would enable the couple to leave. The villains then leave in their canoe, but it overturns and they drown, weighed down by the stolen gold, within sight of Jack and Claire.

Buck finds John Blake, still alive, though in bad shape. They nurse him back to health. Jack wants to keep Claire anyway, but she will not go along. Jack then recommends that John leave to get proper medical attention before the weather makes it impossible. John and Claire leave.

Production[edit]

During the filming of Call of the Wild, Clark Gable impregnated Loretta Young, which resulted in Young's hushed-up pregnancy and the birth of their daughter Judy Lewis (1935–2011). The pregnancy was widely assumed to be the result of an affair; however, in 2015, Linda Lewis, Young's daughter-in-law, stated publicly that Young had confided to her before her death that Gable had raped her, and that though the two had flirted on-set, there had been no affair.^[1] This was the last film released under the Twentieth Century Pictures' banner before it merged with Fox Film Corporation to create 20th Century-Fox, now renamed 20th Century Studios. Coincidentally, the 2020 adaptation of the novel was the first film released under the 20th Century Studios name.
