what is one of bucks failures in call of the wild and evidence

1 answer

One of Buck's failures in "The Call of the Wild" is his inability to resist the primal instincts and draw of the wild.

Evidence of this failure can be seen when Buck, originally a domesticated dog, is sold to become a sled dog in the harsh Klondike region. As he adjusts to the brutal conditions and learns to survive, Buck starts to tap into his primitive ancestry and gradually transforms into a wild and feral animal. He becomes increasingly responsive to the call of the wild, ultimately abandoning the comforts and loyalty he once knew with his human owners. This failure is highlighted when Buck chooses to join a pack of wolves and embrace his newfound freedom in the wilderness, leaving behind any association with civilization and domestication.
