The Call of the Wild What metaphors are used in The Call of the Wild by Jack London? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 04:23 Last updated by Cat on 29 Jun 04:22
The title is a metaphor; the wild is calling Buck from domesticity "Among the terriers he stalked imperiously, and Toots and Ysabel he utterly ignored, for he was king." "His eyes turned bloodshot, and he was metamorphosed into a raging fiend."
