No one however believes his tale, as at the risk of being put in an asylum, he shares his story with only 1 person, another doctor who also knew Moreau. Prendick feels the city too intense for him, and his constant alertness is tiring and terrifying. Every city sound seems, to him, to be a Beast creature coming for him. He thus decides to quit London for the country side where he lives quietly, reading great books of science and studying the stars, hoping to find some sense of meaning in them...Support the Show.Thank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/IsaacBirchallvoKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

The Dog-man calls him "Master" and swears his fealty to him. The two, as Prendick knows he needs an ally, make their way towards the sound of other Beast Folk outside. Prendick asserts the power of Moreau again, and manages to convince some of them that "the Law" and "The House of Pain" live on. 10 months go by during which nothing, he says, happens. He says that he is constantly on watch for the Hyena-Swine and is grateful for his Dog-man's protection. After 7 months, the Beast Folk, as warned by Dr Moreau, gradually lose their ability to speak and walk on the hind legs. It happens as a slow but steady rate, and Moreau hardly notices the change in the man at his side to the dog at his feet. Prendick's hair grows long and his clothes fall to ruins, and he starts to become more alert, aware of the animal-ness of the creatures. He realises that the Beast Folk will forget his authority and overpower him and he decides that he needs to escape, and find a boat...Support the Show.Thank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/IsaacBirchallvoKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

While in this state he decided to share his brandy with M'ling and the other beast folk. Prendick refuses to join them and is against the idea of sharing alcohol with the beast folk. This frustrates Montgomery and when Prendick says that he is going to try and leave the island on the dingy he leaves in a huff to drink. As Prendick searches for supplies, he hears a bunch of noise from the beach and then a gunshot. At this he rushes out of the house and breaks some glass on the way. He finds that the party of Beast Folk and Montgomery have been attacked and have been left for dead. Montgomery is only just alive, and soon breaths his last breath. Prendick finds a bunch of broken wood on the beach and knows it to be the dingy and to add the cherry on top, he finds that the glass he broke was the lantern, which has now set fire to the Houses and lab of Moreau.Support the Show.Thank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/IsaacBirchallvoKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

When in the jungle they come across several beast folk discussing Moreau's body while others are in disbelief of it, for Moreau Can't Die. Realising that Moreau's death could mean the same fate for them, Prendick pipes up and claims that Moreau is not dead, that he just left his body behind as he no longer had need of it to enforce the Law. Montgomery seems to understand what Prendick is doing and plays into the lie and most of the Beast Folk seem convinced. They are lead to the body where with the help of M'ling and a few others, they carry him back to the enclosure, where they burn and destroy the rest of his experiments, afraid of what else could come.

While contemplating outside of the enclosure, he hears a loud noise and is suddenly knocked to the ground by something running. The fall breaks his arm and before he lays down fully from pain, he sees Dr Moreau run after whatever escaped from him. Montgomery soon comes out and, seeing prendick, asks him what happened and then noticing his arm, takes him inside. Montgomery makes Prendick a sling for his arm and then too goes off into the jungle, to find the doctor.

They come across a Satyr looking beast and the Ape man, who question Montgomery about Prendick; the animals believed him to be like them. They move off and come to find a mangled rabbit, and run immediately to inform Moreau of the issue. Moreau decides that they need to make an example of the one who broke the law. They make their way to the jungle, where in a clearing Moreau uses a ram's horn to call the beast folk to them. All bar 4 arrive, and start immediately chanting "The Law" in front of the three. After looking around, and seeing who is missing, Moreau blows the horn again prompting the remaining few to show themselves. He looks for the leopard man, and Prendick is startled by the look of guilt and fear in it's face. Coming to what Prendick believes to be a last resort, the Leopard man attacks Moreau and tries to flee from them into the jungle. A chase ensues, with the entirety of the Beast Folk and 3 men in pursuit leading to Prendick finding the beast. A wave of compassion washes over him, and realising that the beast would be better off no being tormented by Moreau, puts it out of its misery. The Directed DetectiveTwo hosts.

Montgomery explains that the beast folk do not rebel against Moreau because of the Law. Moreau drove "The Law" into their minds through hypnosis, and their constant recitation of it reassures it in their minds, and keeps their animalistic traits at bay. Prendick, after this conversation describes the 60 or so Beast Folk he has seen during his time on the island. He also reflects on his initial disgust of them, and how it has now faded to the point that he began to see himself as the odd one.

It seems that he has been using all of his knowledge of science and physiology to change the shape of animals into humanoids. Then through a course of horrific mental harm to these creatures, he has forced them to talk. What he finds to be his largest problem is that there is an innate bestial quality in these creatures that slowly creeps back in, leaving the creatures eventually nothing but animals in human form. His goal is to remove this factor, and create "New Men."Support the Show.Thank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/IsaacBirchallvoKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

His feet lead him in the direction of the huts where he hopes to find some form of weapon that he could use to overthrow Dr Moreau and Montgomery but before he can get there, they emerge from the jungle in front of him. With nowhere else to go, Prendick walks into the ocean while his pursuers advance on him. Moreau and Montgomery entreaty him to stop acting stupid, and provide good reasons to him why his death is not what they plan on. Prendick is still cautious however and only agrees to come ashore and talk if both his pursuers drop their weapons and walk away. They do so, and the three of them head to the cabin to talk.Support the Show.Thank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/IsaacBirchallvoKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

After finally finding a quiet spot, he lays down and falls asleep. He awakes to hear a rustling, and peaking out of his bush, he sees a very strange man drinking from the stream "Animal Style." Curious, he tries to get a closer look, and sends a rock down the small cliff face, telling the creature that it's being watched. Upon seeing Prendick it stand up straight, "Human like" and heads back into the woods. It is however still watching him. Prendick goes to wander further, but constantly feels that he is being watched. As night starts to fall, he knows he is being watched, and starts to run back to camp.

The strange man then comes up onto the deck, followed quickly by the captain who huts him to the ground with the dogs.

A large man with lank hair is sitting in font of him seemingly waiting for him to wake up. Prendick asks where he is and how he ended up there, and the man informs him that he was involved in a shipwreck and was half dead when the schooner found him. The man mentions that he is lucky that the boat he landed on had a medical professional onboard and claims that he nursed Prendick back to health while giving him a tonic with a distinctly metallic taste. While talking, a Noise from the upper deck like a Roaring animal calls down to the men, and a quarrel of dogs starts up causing the “medical man” to excuse himself and violently quieten the dogs and whatever it was that is roaring. On his reappearance, Prendick asks if he should be well enough for real food, and the man, called Montgomery, says that the cool should be preparing some mutton for him this very moment. They continue to talk for a while before the Roaring animal starts up again. After several days voyage, Prendick is finally well enough to head to the upper deck and take some air. On the deck, he and Montgomery discuss their destinations, and Montgomery informs Prendick that he will be getting off before the end of the voyage to go to his private island in the middle of nowhere.

If you've ever done surgery on a dog to make it more like a guy, only to set it loose in the wilderness and gradually watch it shift back into being a dog, maybe you'll have some sympathy for Doctor Moreau. Otherwise it's pretty hard to get fully onboard with his whole badly-make-animals-into-people gambit.
