The Jungle
Upton Sinclair
As America entered the 20th century, it embarked on a new lifestyle and with it came many new immigrants who wanted to begin a new life in the Land of the Free. ... In Upton Sinclair’s fictional novel The Jungle, he shows how poor the conditions at the time were and what kind of hardships immigrants went through at the time. ... Sinclair views on society at the time, were not all negative. ... The Jungle is a metaphor for the mass of immigrants being conned into terrible work conditions and discriminated against. ... Sinclair illustrated the conditions of the impoverished at the time, and how for so long, Capitalism was ruling all. ... Newcomers enter into this Jungle crammed with predators waiting to attack them at every turn. The structures of capitalism are a jungle of hidden corners, and around each is another scandal, and another secret. The world is depicted as a Jungle in Sinclair’s book. ... Another important theme of course was Darwinism, which falls into the theme of the Jungle. The smallest, weakest creatures of the Jungle are conquered by the larger more powerful creatures. Hypothetically, the impoverished laborers could be the herds of zebra in the jungle, there are thousands of them and they’re all intimidated and fear the Lion.
