A passing ship called <i>Ipecacuanha</i> takes him aboard and a man named Montgomery revives him. Prendick also meets a grotesque bestial native named M'ling who appears to be Montgomery's <a href="/wiki/Manservant" class="mw-redirect" title="Manservant">manservant</a>. The ship is transporting a number of animals which belong to Montgomery, most strangely a <a href="/wiki/Cougar" title="Cougar">puma</a>. As they approach the island which is Montgomery's destination, the captain demands Prendick leave the ship with Montgomery. Montgomery explains that he will not be able to host Prendick on the island. Despite this, the captain leaves Prendick in a <a href="/wiki/Dinghy" title="Dinghy">dinghy</a> and sails away. Seeing that the captain has abandoned Prendick, Montgomery takes pity and rescues him. As ships rarely pass the island, Prendick will be housed in an outer room of an enclosed compound. </p><p>The island belongs to Dr. Moreau. Prendick remembers that he has heard of Moreau, formerly an eminent physiologist in London whose gruesome experiments in <a href="/wiki/Vivisection" title="Vivisection">vivisection</a> had been publicly exposed, and who fled Great Britain as a result of his exposure. </p><p>The next day, Moreau begins working on the puma, eventually revealed as being experimented into a woman. Prendick gathers that Moreau is performing a painful experiment on the animal and its anguished cries drive Prendick out into the jungle. While he wanders, he comes upon a group of people who seem human but have an unmistakable resemblance to <a href="/wiki/Pig" title="Pig">swine</a>. As he walks back to the enclosure, he suddenly realises he is being followed by a figure in the jungle. He panics and flees, and the figure gives chase. As his pursuer bears down on him, Prendick manages to stun him with a stone and observes that the pursuer is a monstrous hybrid of animal and man. When Prendick returns to the enclosure and questions Montgomery, Montgomery refuses to be open with him. After failing to get an explanation, Prendick finally gives in and takes a <a href="/wiki/Hypnotic" title="Hypnotic">sleeping draught</a>. </p><p>Prendick awakes the next morning with the previous night's activities fresh in his mind. Seeing that the door to Moreau's operating room has been left unlocked, he walks in to find a humanoid form lying in bandages on the table before he is ejected by a shocked and angry Moreau. He believes that Moreau has been vivisecting humans and that he is the next test subject. He flees into the jungle where he meets an <a href="/wiki/Ape" title="Ape">Ape</a>-Man who takes him to a colony of similarly half-human/half-animal creatures including a <a href="/wiki/Sloth" title="Sloth">Sloth</a>-Man. Their leader is a large grey unspecified creature named the Sayer of the Law who has him recite a strange litany called the Law that involves prohibitions against bestial behaviour and praise for Moreau: </p> <blockquote> <table align="left" style="margin-left:60px"> <tbody><tr> <td><i>Not to go on all-fours; that is the Law. Are we not men?</i> </td></tr> <tr> <td><i>Not to suck up Drink; that is the Law.

Are we not men?</i><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </td></tr></tbody></table> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> </blockquote> <p>Suddenly, Dr. Moreau bursts into the colony looking for Prendick, but Prendick escapes to the jungle. He makes for the ocean where he plans to drown himself rather than allow Moreau to experiment on him. Moreau explains that the creatures called the <a href="/wiki/Human%E2%80%93animal_hybrid" title="Human–animal hybrid">Beast Folk</a> were not formerly men, but rather animals. Prendick returns to the enclosure where Moreau explains that he has been on the island for eleven years and has been striving to make a complete transformation of an animal to a human. He explains that while he is getting closer to perfection, his subjects have a habit of reverting to their animal form and behaviour. Moreau regards the pain he inflicts as insignificant and an unavoidable side effect in the name of his scientific experiments. He also states that pain is an animalistic instinct that one who is truly human cannot have, cutting his thigh with a <a href="/wiki/Penknife" title="Penknife">penknife</a> with no apparent reaction, to further prove his point. </p><p>One day, Prendick and Montgomery encounter a half-eaten rabbit. Since eating flesh and tasting blood are strong prohibitions, Dr. Moreau calls an assembly of the Beast Folk and identifies the <a href="/wiki/Leopard" title="Leopard">Leopard</a>-Man (the same one that chased Prendick the first time he wandered into the jungle) as the transgressor. Knowing that he will be sent back to Dr. Moreau's compound for more painful sessions of vivisection, the Leopard-Man flees. Eventually, the group corners him in some undergrowth, but Prendick takes pity and shoots him to spare him from further suffering. Prendick also believes that although the Leopard-Man was seen breaking several laws, such as drinking water bent down like an animal, chasing men (Prendick), and running on all fours, the Leopard-Man was not solely responsible for the deaths of the rabbits. It was also the <a href="/wiki/Hyena" title="Hyena">Hyena</a>-Swine, the next most dangerous Beast Man on the island. Dr. Moreau is furious that Prendick killed the Leopard-Man but can do nothing about the situation. </p><p>As time passes, Prendick becomes inured to the grotesqueness of the Beast Folk. However one day, the half-finished puma woman rips free of her restraints and escapes from the lab. Dr. Moreau pursues her, but the two end up fighting each other, leading to their mutual deaths. Montgomery breaks down and decides to share his alcohol with the Beast Folk. Prendick resolves to leave the island, but later hears a commotion outside in which Montgomery, his servant M'ling, and the Sayer of the Law die after a scuffle with the Beast Folk. At the same time, the compound burns down because Prendick has knocked over a lamp. With no chance of saving any of the provisions stored in the enclosure, Prendick realizes that Montgomery has also destroyed the only boats on the island during the night. </p><p>Prendick lives with the Beast Folk on the island for months after the deaths of Moreau and Montgomery. As the time goes by, the Beast Folk increasingly revert to their original animal instincts, beginning to hunt the island's rabbits, returning to walking on all fours, and leaving their shared living areas for the wild. They cease to follow Prendick's instructions. Eventually, the Hyena-Swine kills Prendick's faithful Dog-Man companion created from a St. Bernard. With help from the Sloth Creature, Prendick shoots the Hyena-Swine in self-defence. </p><p>Prendick's efforts to build a raft have been unsuccessful. Luckily for him, a lifeboat that carries two corpses drifts onto the beach (Perhaps the captain of the ship that picked Prendick up and a sailor).<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Prendick uses the boat to leave the island and is picked up three days later. When he tells his story, he is thought to be mad. So he feigns amnesia. </p><p>Upon his return to England, Prendick is no longer comfortable in the presence of humans, all of whom seem to him to be about to revert to an animal state. He leaves London and lives in near-solitude in the countryside, devoting himself to chemistry and astronomy in the studies of which he finds some peace. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Main_characters">Main characters</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Island_of_Doctor_Moreau&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Main characters"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Humans">Humans</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Island_of_Doctor_Moreau&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Humans"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><b>Edward Prendick</b> – The narrator and protagonist</li> <li><b>Dr. Moreau</b> – A <a href="/wiki/Mad_scientist" title="Mad scientist">mad</a> <a href="/wiki/Vivisectionist" class="mw-redirect" title="Vivisectionist">vivisectionist</a> who has fled upon his experiments being exposed and has moved to a remote island in the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Ocean" title="Pacific Ocean">Pacific Ocean</a> to pursue his research of perfecting his Beast Folk</li> <li><b>Montgomery</b> – Dr. Moreau's assistant and Prendick's rescuer.

They include: </p> <ul><li><b>M'ling</b> – Montgomery's servant who does the cooking and cleaning. Moreau combined a <a href="/wiki/Bear" title="Bear">bear</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Dog" title="Dog">dog</a>, and an <a href="/wiki/Ox" title="Ox">ox</a> to create him. As Prendick describes M'ling, he states that M'ling is a "complex trophy of Moreau's skill, a bear, tainted with dog and ox, and one of the most elaborately made of all the creatures". He has glowing eyes and furry ears. M'ling later dies protecting Montgomery from the other Beast Folk on the beach.</li> <li><b>Sayer of the Law</b> – A large, grey-haired animal of unspecified combinations (though Edward notices its gray hair is similar to that of a <a href="/wiki/Skye_Terrier" title="Skye Terrier">Skye Terrier</a> as well as sporting talons) that recites Dr. Moreau's teachings about being men to the other Beast Folk. The Sayer of the Law serves as a governor and a priest to the Beast Folk. He is later killed in an unseen scuffle between Montgomery, M'ling, and the Beast Folk.</li> <li><b>Ape-Man</b> – An unspecified <a href="/wiki/Ape" title="Ape">ape</a> that considers himself equal to Prendick and refers to himself and Prendick as "Five Men", because they both have five fingers on each hand, which is uncommon among the Beast Folk. He is the first Beast Man other than M'ling to whom Prendick speaks. The Ape-Man has what he refers to as "Big Thinks" which on his return to England, Prendick likens to a priest's sermon at the pulpit.</li> <li><b>Sloth Creature</b> – A small, pink <a href="/wiki/Sloth" title="Sloth">sloth</a>-based creation described by Prendick as resembling a flayed child. He is one of the more relatively benign creatures and helps Prendick kill the Hyena-Swine before fully regressing.</li> <li><b>Hyena-Swine</b> – A <a href="/wiki/Carnivore" title="Carnivore">carnivorous</a> hybrid of a <a href="/wiki/Spotted_hyena" title="Spotted hyena">spotted hyena</a> and a <a href="/wiki/Pig" title="Pig">pig</a> who becomes Prendick's enemy in the wake of Dr. Moreau's death.

The Leopard-Man is killed by Prendick to spare him further pain, much to the dismay of Dr. Moreau.</li> <li><b>Ox-Men</b> – A group of gray ox-based creatures who appear twice, first when Prendick is introduced to the Beast Folk and then again after Montgomery's death.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Satyr" title="Satyr">Satyr</a>-Man</b> – A hybrid of a <a href="/wiki/Goat" title="Goat">goat</a> and an ape.

He is so like a domestic dog in character that Prendick is barely surprised when he reverts to a more animalistic form. The Dog-Man is later killed by the Hyena-Swine.</li> <li><b>Fox-Bear Woman</b> – A female hybrid of a <a href="/wiki/Red_fox" title="Red fox">fox</a> and a <a href="/wiki/Grizzly_bear" title="Grizzly bear">bear</a> who passionately supports the Law.

She is halfway through her process of being turned into one of the Beast Folk, but was in so much pain from the surgery that she uses her strength to break free of her restraints and escape.

It is a theological grotesque, and the influence of Swift is very apparent in it. There was a scandalous trial about that time, the graceless and pitiful downfall of a man of genius, and this story was the response of an imaginative mind to the reminder that humanity is but animal rough-hewn to a reasonable shape and in perpetual internal conflict between instinct and injunction. This story embodies this ideal, but apart from this embodiment it has no allegorical quality. It is written just to give the utmost possible vividness to that conception of men as hewn and confused and tormented beasts. When the reader comes to read the writings upon history in this collection, he will find the same idea of man as a re-shaped animal no longer in flaming caricature, but as a weighed and settled conviction.</p><div class="templatequotecite">— <cite><a class="external text" href="https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Works_of_H._G._Wells_(Atlantic_Edition)/Preface_to_Volume_2"><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Wikisource</span></em></a></cite></div></blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_Island_of_Doctor_Moreau_in_popular_culture">The Island of Doctor Moreau in popular culture</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Island_of_Doctor_Moreau&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: The Island of Doctor Moreau in popular culture"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">This is a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Lists#Dynamic_lists" title="Wikipedia:WikiProject Lists">dynamic list</a> and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness.
