In the book
The Island of Dr. Moreau, by H.G. Wells’s
chapter three is about The Strange
Faces are about Montgomery, Mr. Prendick, and this black man climbing up a ladder.
As they were going up the ladder Mr. Prendick notice the black man who he was afraid
and startled by this man that looks like a creature to him. The man is black
with big white teeth, with eyes that are bloodshot at the edges, and with a
little bite of white around the hazel pupils. The man had this curious slow of
excitement on his face. Mr. Prendick felt like he was being force to stare at
this ugly horrible looking man because he is in front of him going up the
ladder. Montgomery speaks to the black man saying “you have no business here,
you know,” (9). Montgomery said this to the black man in a very deliberate tone
of voice. He also indicated that the
black man should be forward instead of backward. The black men however indicate
that he cannot go forward, but Montgomery on the other hand demands that he do
as he says. Half way through the
hatchway, Mr. Prendick realizes how he is amazed by the way this black man
looks. At first he was startled by the black man looks, now Mr. Prendick is all
into the way he looks and how he seen this black man somewhere before. They are
on a ship where Mr. Prendick seems to dislike the captain as much as the
captain dislikes him. Therefore Mr. Prendick calls the captain the devil and
ugly. The more he got on the captains nerve the captain decides to throw him
off the ship, because he is the captain and can do what he wants on his ship.
