The Hunting of the Man
When Prendick believes that he is to be the next experimental subject, what word does he use to describe what he fears will follow "a fate more horrible than death, with torture"? What do you think are the implications of this word choice?
Note: Comus is the Greek god of festivity, revels, and nocturnal dalliances. He is a son and a cup-bearer of the god Bacchus, and represents anarchy and chaos. Unlike the purely carnal Pan or purely intoxicated Bacchus, Comus is a god of excess.
Note: deal is a board or plank, usually of fir or pine
After he meets "the simian creature who had met the launch upon the beach," what name/term does Prendick (for the first time) give the inhabitants of the island, (the ones "created" by Moreau and Montgomery)?
