초록
H. G. Wells's The Island of Doctor Moreau(1896) reflects the cultural significance of zoological gardens in 19th-century Britain, while unsettling the contemporary notions projected onto that space about human-animal relationships. The island setting in the novel resembles a zoological garden that reflects the 19th-century desire to experiment with scientific knowledge related to taxonomy. Concurrently, the landscape of the island and the reactions of Prendick to the vivid visual imagery of the Beast People challenge the ambivalent experiences visitors to animal exhibitions encountered. The blurred distinction between humans as spectators and animals as exhibits critiques the human-centered perspective prevalent from the early to mid-19th century. Furthermore, by portraying unique and individual relationships between animals and humans unlike the collective view in 19th-century zoological gardens, Wells implies the necessity to recognize animals as distinctly individual entities.
Abstract
H. G. Wells's The Island of Doctor Moreau(1896) reflects the cultural significance of zoological gardens in 19th-century Britain, while unsettling the contemporary notions projected onto that space about human-animal relationships. The island setting in the novel resembles a zoological garden that reflects the 19th-century desire to experiment with scientific knowledge related to taxonomy. Concurrently, the landscape of the island and the reactions of Prendick to the vivid visual imagery of the Beast People challenge the ambivalent experiences visitors to animal exhibitions encountered. The blurred distinction between humans as spectators and animals as exhibits critiques the human-centered perspective prevalent from the early to mid-19th century. Furthermore, by portraying unique and individual relationships between animals and humans unlike the collective view in 19th-century zoological gardens, Wells implies the necessity to recognize animals as distinctly individual entities.
