To Build a Fire by Jack London -- Review

The theme of the story "To Build a Fire" by Jack London is the confrontation between man and the harsh northern nature.

A character of the story dies but dies with dignity, like a strong opponent of the severity of nature. The reason for his death is that he overestimated his human capabilities.

The man as a king of nature failed in the confrontation with nature, to which it was necessary to adapt. An important way to present this idea is the image of a dog, which, being part of nature, does not oppose it.
