Abstract
When civilization and the wild collide, the struggle for existence is inevitable. In Jack London’s novels “White Fang” and “The Call of the Wild’’, the animal-protagonist stands on the border of two contradictory and simultaneously interrelated worlds, its feelings and behaviour are totally the result of human influence. The article examines not only the affinity of the struggling animal-protagonist with the author (which is studied in the framework of the analysis of the generalities between the characters’ relations and the author's interpersonal relationships, based on Freudian psychoanalytic theories, particularly, dream theory and Oedipal complex), but also the characteristics and psychological features of human-animal interrelation in general, which is, in fact, logically linked to the previous problem.
