William Faulkner's short novel The Bear is a very complex work for all its lack of length. One of the aspects of great importance is brought out through the contrast between the wilderness and the land, the land being that portion that has been cultivated and tamed by man. It may not be as civilized as the town or the city, but it is representative of civilization in the story and is civilized when compared to the wilderness.

Ike is being inculcated into the ways of his people, but he comes to see where the people have strayed from the true path as embodied in the wilderness and in the majestic figure of the bear in particular.

Charlemagne's biographer Einhard, a member of the court, developed the king's biography in a way that would legitimate, rationalize--perhaps excuse--the behavior of Charlemagne as a conquering hero. It is Einhard's stated intent to immortalize a king by declaring moral weigh
