What we have known about animal literature is confined into the Greek mythology, Aesop's Fables and some fairy tales. But in the 20 thcentury, the development of animal literary which focuses on the real animals is great. The Call of the Wild by Jack London is a representative work of describing real animals. This paper will discuss two different images of Buck by means of two archetypes based on Archetype Theory of Carl G. Jung, shadow and hero, in order to study how Buck changed from a dog to a wolf.展开更多
