Abstract:
The aim of this chapter is to highlight the ambivalence of the monkey portrayed by Kipling in The Mark of the Beast . The monkey is on one side the mysterious deity, object of worship by the Hindu natives, on the other side it recalls a fundamental step of Darwinian evolutionary theories of Kipling’s contemporary Victorian society. In both cases it is terrifying and haunts the Victorian mind.
