The Beast in the Jungle

The Beast in the Jungle is a poignant story about a man who anticipates an event that he expects will set him apart from all others. Henry James uses his main character John Marcher to show what happens when someone never looks beyond themselves and lives without ever truly understanding the importance of giving yourself to another person and sincerely loving them. As the story states, "the escape would have been to love [his dear friend May Bartram]; then, then, he would have lived" (James 476). It is his lack of reciprocating May Bartram's love that dooms him to "the beast in the jungle." Instead of a first-person narrative, as one would expect from a story about self-absorption, a third-person narrative is used. Henry James' use of the third person benefits the story's theme of a life unlived by generating distance from the characters, allowing the reader to objectively understand Marcher's thoughts, and creating a parallel between Marcher's need to look outside himself for self-discovery and the narration style.
