Questions for Study 
How does the novel's first part, about Bill and Henry, relate to the rest 
of 
White Fang
? 
As mentioned in the analysis of the first two sections, this part of 
White 
Fang
seems more like a separate short story. London was a master of the

short story, and this side story deals with many of the same themes 
that 
White Fang
deals with. London uses this tale to describe the setting of 
the North and to tell about the constant struggle of life for survival. He also 
uses it to show how the she-wolf, who is Kiche, has these battling instincts 
inside of her that make her want to be friendly to humans and to other dogs, 
but how her hunger overpowers those instincts. This story gives the reader 
background both in the setting and the themes of the rest of the book. 
White Fang
 is about a dog. How do the novel's themes relate to human 
life? 
The first part of 
White Fang
is about the battle for human survival, but it is 
undisputed that the majority of the book deals with White Fang, a rather 
wolfish dog. The main point that London makes that is relevant to human 
life is about environment and its effects on the development of youth, be 
they dog or human. He shows how human cruelty just breeds more cruelty, 
a truth that is evident in humans and animals. In the same line, he shows 
how love can overpower that, but then uses the story of Jim Hall to show 
how humans need to show that love to others as well as dogs. 
What role do women play in 
White Fang
? 
Very little. This is predominately a male-centered world, where women 
have no part to play. The only two exceptions are animals, Kiche and 
Collie. They both are fierce and hold their own in battles with other wolves 
or White Fang, mainly because male wolves do not attack female wolves. 
An interesting research project would be to determine exactly what part 
women did have in the world of the far North, because London does not 
seem to mention any.
