man and beast

In the story and analysis there was talk about how the beast and man were two separate bodies, which makes it seem like the one guy is seeing a world through two different bodies in two different ways that normal people don’t get to see.  The way I see this is that man and beast are the same body just two different perspectives on how he perceives the world that he is living.  Meaning that he is merely showing that people can have two different sides to them one being man who is intelligent and beast who works off of instincts, but together they form one great entity.  When you think about it man is a hunter and a provider which would be the beast side, and man is also full of knowing which would cover the humanistic traits.

The question I have is do you agree with any of this why or why not? Could this be a kind of precursor to what Darwin had to say many years later?

  1. I like your thought process on this and analyzing the story this way. I agree that the overall meaning could relate to a man having two different sides. One side is the man and the other is the beast and like you said they work together to make one entity. I agree with that statement because in reality we all have many different sides that we show people. We have a side that gets angry, sad, happy, etc.
