Conflict and Theme in The Call of the Wild

Question 8 • *NBHS FL-1001070-M/J Language Arts 3 A

Read this excerpt from The Call of the Wild by Jack London.A chill wind was blowing that nipped him sharply and bit with especial venom into his wounded shoulder. He lay down on the snow and attempted to sleep, but the frost soon drove him shivering to his feet. Miserable and disconsolate, he wandered about among the many tents, only to find that one place was as cold as another.

Answer
A
character vs. self
B
character vs. nature
C
character vs. character
D
character vs. society

Explanation

The excerpt shows the character struggling against the cold wind, frost, and snow. These are forces of the natural environment, so the conflict is character vs. nature. The tents do not provide shelter from the cold, but the main struggle is not against another person or society.
