| | Classics Network -- Essay -- Unconsciously Pragmatizing: Henry James's 'The Beast in the Jungle' |
 | | Inaccurate, because this letter was written in 1907, and Henry wrote "The Beast in the Jungle" in 1903. | | | The pragmatistic spirit of Henry James’s short story "The Beast in the Jungle" leaps out at the reader who has some acquaintance with the work of Henry’s brother, the philosopher William James. | | | Henry's imagery is as quiet as October light and as staggering as the pounce of a beast. |

| | Henry James (1843-1916) |
| | Many valuable comparisons can be drawn between "Daisy Miller" and "The Beast in the Jungle." Both stories tell of an aborted romance in which the man distances himself emotionally until it is too late. | | | When Daisy looks at Winterbourne and boasts of having had "a great deal of gentleman's society," she doesn't know (though Winterbourne and James do) that she is coming on precisely as a courtesan would. | | | In "Daisy Miller" students will probably need a detailed explanation of the Colosseum scene, where Winterbourne finally makes up his mind about Daisy, not only deciding that she isn't respectable but showing her by his behavior that he scorns her as beyond the pale. |

| | Her dying, her death, his consequent solitude--that was what he had figured as the Beast in the Jungle, that was what had been in the lap of the gods. | | | It had sprung as he didn't guess; it had sprung as she hopelessly turned from him, and the mark, by the time he left her, had fallen where it _was_ to fall. | | | The definite point was the inevitable spring of the creature; and the definite lesson from that was that a man of feeling didn't cause himself to be accompanied by a lady on a tiger-hunt. |

| | But The Beast in the Jungle is an absolutely great work, one of the truely great short novels of all time. | | | Yet, unlike Beast where Marcher is very old at the end of the tale, Ennis is only 39. | | | Supposedly he does that for an aesthetic reason, but I've never quite understood why. |

| | Man or beast, he was afraid of nothing. | | | By nature, however, Fitz was quite a sentimental, even-tempered man, slow to anger and swift to forgiveness. | | | This inner viciousness even was apparent in Bob around the house, where he frequently slugged it out with a pet tiger cub that grew into dangerous maturity. |

| | The definite point was the inevitable spring of the creature; and the definite lesson from that was that a man of feeling didn't cause himself to be accompanied by a lady on a tiger-hunt. | | | His conviction, his apprehension, his obsession, in short, wasn't a privilege he could invite a woman to share; and that consequence of it was precisely what was the matter with him. | | | It had always had it's incalculable moments of glaring out, quite as with the very eyes of the very Beast, and, used as he was to them, they could still draw from him the tribute of a sigh that rose from the depths of his being. |

| | The Beast in the Jungle Summary & Essays - Henry James |
| | Literary critics generally agree that Henry James’s career can be divided into three periods, the first from 1876 to the mid-1880s, the second from the mid-1880s to 1897, and the third from 1897 to his death. | | | ‘‘The Beast in the Jungle’’ is the story of John Marcher, who believes he is destined for a special fate. | | | Thematically, this story can be linked to one of the greatest novels of his later period, The Ambassadors, which was also published in 1903. |
