Journalist- explorer V.S Jerry – protector ◆ He took Neil as a material for report to met his need. ~ no empathy ◆ Jerry acted as a protector also out of emotional need

Outside Intervention （the doctor, law to force Neil’s leaving ）- fake judge ◆ The superior self-esteem over nature disregarded Neil’s own will and thoughts. （hierarchy）

  13. Conflicts & Impact Nature made on Civilization • Human being tends to reject something / someone different and unfamiliar. (e.g., Nell) • Nell is treated like an animal, or even a pet. • Is called the “wild child” and the “savage woman.” • Is not considered human, for her ability to live on her own is doubted. • Even though Nell… • is human being indeed • is not wild (language -> English; well-dressed; modern products) • lives well for nearly 30 years in the woods

  14. Conflicts & Impact Nature made on Civilization • Human are shocked by Nell’s purity and simple mind. • The billiard room scene • Offensive & Sexual game played by the delivery boy • Nell follows and shows her naked body • Shock occurs among people 3. Nakedness vs. Nudity • Nell: being ‘naked’ -> is being natural (e.g., swimming in the lake) • Civilized people: • Body covered w/o clothes in public is shameful & sinful -> ‘nude’ -> being observed • Showing naked body in public is not appropriate

  15. Conflicts & Impact Nature made on Civilization • Balance in the end • The court scene • Nell behaves more appropriately and sociably • Speaks to the public • Words contain emotions: • fear for loneliness • eager for companions • Causes sympathy due to similarity

Is living in groups equal to leave nature? • 3. Can People live in Nature without any modern conveniences? If you are going to live in nature for long, what would you bring?
