Naturalism also considers larger forces that control human lives ,such as nature or fare. Does London think that the man ever had a chance in this harsh climate , or was he doomed from the start? Explain
I believe that London was accentuating the need for those who traverse in the wild to prepare, take the advice of those who know better, and then prepare some more. We aren't left with any doubt that certain decisions and accidents sealed the man's fate, the first of which was leaving in the first place. None-the-less, specifics things like wetting himself in the creek, and choosing a questionable place to build the second fire also contributed to the man's death. London's choice of an inexperienced make speaks volumes. During the periods London, himself, spent time in the Yukon, he likely saw all kinds of people, including prideful, know it alls. London's point here is nature is unforgiving.
