THE FACE OF THE WOLF IN JACK LONDON'S NOVEL "THE SEA WOLF" IN GEORGIAN CONTEXT

Abstract

Larsen,  a metaphorically reflected artistic wolf in Jack London's novel “The Sea Wolf”, is notable for his rigid materialistic views, inner world, outward appearance, strong physical and mental abilities.

The special cruelty, demand, leadership genius, ruthlessness expressed in wolf ‘s actions, discussions and dialogues creates the association of a wolf. In it, the nature and characters of the wolf are expressed in wolf’s   behavior, in his  relationship with crew members, violent actions against them and other different  actions.

The man with a character of the wolf  in Georgian literature is mainly a robber and murderer. Here, the protagonist German Basil is a physically strong, capable, intelligent and tolerant person.

Alexander Iashaliashvili creates the same opinion in his novel "Trail of the Wolf", in which the wolf and the creature  can be compared  and even differentiated.

Different time and space determine their psychological and social differences,that distinguish  J. London’s and Al. Iashaliashvili's writing method who draw artistic types with their individual form and content.
