Each human has an individuality of his or her own as well that should be valued and recognized. Some people are tall, some are short some are black, some are white some are old, some are young. The different kinds of hogs are representative of the many different kinds of humans there are. And each of them had an individuality of his own, a will of his own, a hope and a heart’s desire.” This passage sets up the rest of the book for the comparison of humans and animals. Some were white hogs, some were black some were brown, some were spotted some were old, some were young some were long and lean, some were monstrous. “Each one of these hogs was a separate creature. The first of these places is early on in the story on page 41 where Jurgis is witnessing the slaughtering of the hogs.
To begin, an emphasis on actual animals begins on page 39, where it is being explained, regarding industry, how “They brought in ten thousand head of cattle every day, and as many hogs, and half as many sheep.” Animals are then prevalent throughout the rest of the novel, and human beings are reflected as being treated similar to these animals later on in the story. Numerous symbols are used in Sinclair’s novel The Jungle.
