Abstract
Jack London is a great writer in the American literature history at the beginning of the 20th century. In the whole of his works, The Call of the Wild is known as a landmark of London and this work wins him worldwide reputation. London integrates deep implication into the novel with vivid scene descriptions and delicate plots. Its simple but refined descriptions are thoughtful and bring readers endless inspiration. Up to now, scholars at home and abroad have mainly studied The Call of the Wild from many perspectives, such as naturalism and ecologism. This thesis is going to interpret the novel from symbolism perspective, principally analyzing the symbol of wild in the novel.
This thesis is divided into four chapters. Chapter One gives a brief survey of London’s life and an introduction to The Call of the Wild. Chapter Two presents previous studies about this novel and a general introduction to symbolism and symbol as a theoretical basis. It shows the significant position of symbolism in literature and also illustrates the purpose and importance of this thesis. The main body of this thesis is Chapter Three, which analyzes the textual meaning of wild from the approach of symbolism. It explores what are the roles of these three aspects played in the change and evolution of Buck. Chapter Four is the conclusion part.
Key Words: Jack London The Call of the Wild symbol
