A masterpiece.

I could greatly identify with the character of May in "The Beast In The Jungle" and because of this, the story had an intense emotional impact for me. Nonetheless, it is both a beautiful and haunting tale of egotism, fear of the unknown, and unrequited love. As others have mentioned, it is the psychology element that gives it it's power. <br>Should be required reading in any college Literature class (as it was in mine).
