The rules that Buck, in Jack London's 'Call of the Wild', soon learned to live by. Shortly after his 'kidnap', Buck, beaten into submission, learns the 'law of the club'. He soon learns that teeth and jaws(fangs) are the ultimate law among his peers.
In the brutal and brumal Alaskan weather Buck learns that the world over there runs by two things club and fang. If someone is acting up or not listening show them the club or the fang and that will set them straight. For instance at the end of chapter 3 Buck beats Spitz by showing him the fang and gains dominance. Another example in the beginning of the book when Buck was sold to another man he was acting out and attacking but he was shown the club and learned his lesson.
When Buck gets from the "sun-kissed Santa Clara Valley" to the harsh, tough, Alaskan life, where club and fang rule, Buck learns to obey his leaders. At the start Spitz was the leader.If a dog did something Spitz, the leader, didn´t like, the one will get to feel the fangs sink into their flesh. Later when Buck is the leader, it´s the same. In this brumal area you have to respect your leaders. Buck´s second but later only leader, is men. A good example for that is in the end of the book, when a dead tiredness overcomes the dogs, and Buck doesn´t get up when he was told to. Buck didn´t obey so he got punished with the club. Club and Fang rule, and if you don´t do what you are supposed to,they will make you obey.
The club and fang rule is that if someone in not listening or obeying their master, they will be punished and made sure that they will listen and obey the next time. Buck did not listen or obey orders from his master to get up so he got hit with a club - the club and fang rule.
i think that the "Club" stands for the dominance of someone hurting someone with a club and getting that person hurt. i also believe that in this chapter when Buck gets taken away we wasn't used to the snow , his surroundings and he also wasn't used to the people or dogs behavior.so, when buck wouldn't obey the orders he would get hit by a club. And i think that by the "Fang" it means that if one dog shows his/her teeth to another dog it shows objection,as in when a dog is doing an action that some other dog doesn't like it they would show their fangs.
Law of the club and fang is what Buck learned when he came to Alaska. The law is that to obey the master/Leader(that was Spitz and the men). If they did something wrong to the men, they will hit you or treat in a bad way/ or kill you. That's when you get hit by the club. When you do something wrong with the dog, you may get in fight and get killed. When dogs show their fang, it shows the anger of them. It also means that when they want to show how their level is higher than the other, they show their fang. The example is that when the huskies kill Curly. The huskies use their sharp fang to kill her.
Buck learned the law of the club and fang at Alaska, to obey and fight. An example for fang is when Spitz, as a leader, showed his fang to Buck, but Buck knew he was stronger than Spitz so they got into a fight and one of them got killed. For the club is when you don't do the right things with your master and you get the reward for that. So, in this case I think the law of the club and fang will probably be:"master or be mastered" ," killed or be killed" or " eat or be eaten"
The harsh weather is very brutal to Buck, but it partially teaches a very important thing: The Law of Club and Fang. The law requires Buck to obey by his human masters when they command him. The club is a sign of respect and obeying. The Fang shows Buck that others will always be hostile to him. An example is Spitz fighting Buck as he doesn't like him.
Buck is aware of the harsh, brumal weather, and the new environment where he had moved on to(Alaska). And, The Law of Club and Fang teaches Buck very important things that he has to keep in mind to survive/live in his new environment. The "Law" was to obey/listen his master or a leader (Spitz). He had to show/do only the right things that he was required/allowed to do. Or else he would be in trouble and gets hurt/killed. And this would show the other dogs/master that he break the law which leads to the "Club". Just as i said, a "Club" is when you don't do the right thing or which was required to be done and be in trouble for that. The "Fang" is a special expression for dogs called an "anger". Fang shows the feelings of anger/grumpy they feel. Like when Spitz and Buck fight, or when the huskies attack Curly.
Their are many new obstacles/ tasks that Buck has to face when he comes to the new environment. Which is Alaska. Basically " The Law Of The Club And Fang" teaches buck everything he needs to know, to survive in his new domain. The law was to make sure that he would obey and listen to every command. To also show some decency and respect, and to teach what and how to do things when and where. The club is basically like if he did something wrong or something which was not required to do, he would get hit by the club several times, which was basically a punishment. The fang is basically more about the dogs. the dogs show their fangs when hey are very angry.
The Law of the Club and Fang is an operation in which it basically means "kill or be killed". This is what Buck learns/discovers when he is sold to his new owners. He learns that there will always be an ending to a dispute or fight and one will always win.

ReplyDeleteVery brief understanding. Can you elaborate further and support with instances from your reading, in support?

ReplyDeleteCan you think of more examples to support the theory of the Club and the Fang?
