On the Interpretation of "the Law" in The Law of Life

The Law of Life, a notable piece among Jack London's Northland narratives, captivates readers with its brevity, conciseness, and profound ideas.Interpretations of "the law" vary widely, lacking a consensus.This paper aims to delve into "the law" from the perspectives of social Darwinism, fatalism, and the theory of three metamorphoses, which significantly influenced Jack London.By integrating these theories with the overall narrative, the profound meanings concealed within "the law" will be unearthed, and an increasingly suitable perspective on life and death will be discovered.
