Contents. Character biography Tarzan is the son of a British lord and lady who were on the Atlantic coast of. When Tarzan was an infant, his mother died, and his father was killed by Kerchak, leader of the ape tribe by whom Tarzan was adopted. Soon after his parents' death, Tarzan became a feral child, and his tribe of apes are known as the, of a species unknown to science. Kala is his ape mother. Burroughs added stories occurring during Tarzan's adolescence in his sixth Tarzan book,. Tarzan is his ape name (meaning 'White-Skin'); his English name is John Clayton, Greystoke (according to Burroughs in; of Greystoke in later, less canonical sources, notably the 1984 movie ).
In fact, Burroughs's narrator in Tarzan of the Apes describes both Clayton and Greystoke as fictitious names – implying that, within the fictional world that Tarzan inhabits, he may have a different real name. As an eighteen-year-old young adult, Tarzan meets a young American woman,.
She, her father, and others of their party are marooned on the same coastal jungle area where Tarzan's biological parents were twenty years earlier. When Jane returns to the United States, Tarzan leaves the jungle in search of her, his one true love. In, Tarzan and Jane marry. In later books he lives with her for a time in England.
They have one son, Jack, who takes the ape name ('the Killer'). Tarzan is contemptuous of what he sees as the hypocrisy of civilization, and he and Jane return to Africa, making their home on an extensive estate that becomes a base for Tarzan's later adventures. As revealed in, Tarzan, Jane, Tarzan's monkey friend Nkima, and their allies gained some of the Kavuru's pills that grant immortality to its consumer. Characterization.
Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli was a likely influence on Tarzan, including his ease with non-human primates Burroughs created an elegant version of the wild man figure largely unalloyed with character flaws or faults. Tarzan is described as being tall, athletic, handsome, and tanned, with grey eyes and long black hair. He wears almost no clothes, except for a loincloth. Emotionally, he is courageous, intelligent, loyal, and steadfast. He is presented as behaving ethically in most situations, except when seeking vengeance under the motivation of grief, as when his ape mother Kala is killed in Tarzan of the Apes, or when he believes Jane has been murdered in Tarzan the Untamed.
He is deeply in love with his wife and totally devoted to her; in numerous situations where other women express their attraction to him, Tarzan politely but firmly declines their attentions. When presented with a situation where a weaker individual or party is being preyed upon by a stronger foe, Tarzan invariably takes the side of the weaker party. In dealing with other men, Tarzan is firm and forceful.
With male friends, he is reserved but deeply loyal and generous. As a host, he is, likewise, generous and gracious. As a leader, he commands devoted loyalty. In keeping with these noble characteristics, Tarzan's philosophy embraces an extreme form of 'return to nature'.
Although he is able to pass within society as a civilized individual, he prefers to 'strip off the thin veneer of civilization', as Burroughs often puts it. His preferred dress is a knife and a of animal hide, his preferred abode is any convenient tree branch when he desires to sleep, and his favored food is raw meat, killed by himself; even better if he is able to bury it a week so that has had a chance to tenderize it a bit. Tarzan's philosophy was absorbed by countless fans, amongst whom was, who describes the Tarzan series as having a major influence on her childhood. She states that she felt she would be a much better spouse for Tarzan than his fictional wife, Jane, and that when she first began to live among and study the she was fulfilling her childhood dream of living among the great apes just as Tarzan did. 's has been cited as a major influence on Edgar Rice Burroughs' creation of Tarzan.
Mowgli was also an influence for a number of other characters. Skills and abilities.
Tarzan's agility, speed, and strength allow him to kill a Leopard in 1921's. Tarzan's jungle upbringing gives him abilities far beyond those of ordinary humans. These include climbing, clinging, and leaping as well as any great ape, or better. He uses branches and hanging vines to swing at great speed, a skill acquired among the anthropoid apes. His strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, senses, flexibility, durability, endurance, and swimming are extraordinary in comparison to normal men. He has wrestled full grown bull and, man-size (once) and even (when he visited ). Tarzan is a skilled tracker and uses his exceptional senses of hearing and smell to follow prey or avoid predators, and kills only for food, yet is a skilled thief when raiding African tribal villages or hunting parties that Tarzan has judged to be brutal and deserve no pity, taking their spears, shields, bows, knives, and most importantly, metal arrowheads.
A keen sense of hearing allows him to eavesdrop on conversations between other people near him. Extremely intelligent, Tarzan was literate in English before being able to speak the language when he first encounters other English-speaking people such as his love interest, Jane Porter. His literacy is self-taught after several years in his early teens by visiting the log cabin of his dead parents and looking at and correctly deducing the function of children's primer/picture books.
The books were brought to by his dead mother who intended to teach her son herself. He eventually reads every book in his dead father's portable book collection and is fully aware of geography, basic world history, and his family tree, yet is not able to speak English until after meeting human beings as he never heard what English is supposed to sound like when spoken aloud. He is 'found' by a traveling Frenchman that teaches him the basics of human speech and returns him to England.
Tarzan can learn a new language in days, ultimately speaking many languages, including that of the great apes, many dialects, Arabic, ancient, ancient, the languages of the and of. Unlike depictions in black and white movies of the 1930s after learning to speak a language in the novels, Tarzan/John Clayton is very articulate, reserved (he prefers to listen and carefully observe before speaking) and does not speak in broken English as the classic movies depict him. He can communicate with many species of jungle animals, and has been shown to be a skilled impressionist, able to mimic the sound of a gunshot perfectly. The Kavuru's pills later granted Tarzan extended longevity. Literature. A 1914 publication of Tarzan of the Apes (originally from 1912). Tarzan has been called one of the best-known literary characters in the world.
In addition to more than two dozen books by Burroughs and a handful more by authors with the blessing of Burroughs' estate, the character has appeared in,. Numerous parodies and pirated works have also appeared. Burroughs considered other names for the character, including 'Zantar' and 'Tublat Zan,' before he settled on 'Tarzan.'
Even though the copyright on Tarzan of the Apes has in the and other countries, the name Tarzan is claimed as a of It's also worth noting that Burroughs use of dates and time passing is constantly inconsistent in his novels, in fact there are downright contradictions in the series. In the first book Tarzan Of The Apes it's implied that Tarzan was born early in 1888 and the arrival of Jane is said to have occurred in 1909 which would make him 20 years old. In Tarzan Of The Apes, chapter 9, Burroughs states: Thus, at eighteen, we find him, an English lordling, who could speak no English, and yet who could read and write his native language. Never had he seen a human being other than himself, for the little area traversed by his tribe was watered by no great river to bring down the savage natives of the interior.
Two paragraphs later Mbonga's warriors enter. Yet in The Return Of Tarzan, chapter 5, when the ape man almost killed the Count de Coude Tarzan states: Until I was fifteen I had never seen a human being. I was twenty before I saw a white man. However, the book makes multiple references to the fact that Tarzan’s parents, John and Alice Clayton, were missing for only twenty years, which means that Tarzan would only be 18–19 years of age.
Numerous authorised movies and novels have all agreed with the notion of Tarzan being 18 years old during the events of the first novel. A later novel Tarzan the Untamed faces a similar problem with the novel being set in the year 1914, despite the fact that Tarzan and Jane's son, Jack 'Korak' Clayton is supposed to be 18 years old. It's believed among fans that Burroughs did this deliberately to give an illusion that Tarzan had once been an actual person and Burroughs was trying to conceal his real identity, in the first novel it is mentioned: I had this story from one who had no business to tell it to me, or to any other.
I may credit the seductive influence of an old vintage upon the narrator for the beginning of it, and my own skeptical incredulity during the days that followed for the balance of the strange tale. When my convivial host discovered that he had told me so much, and that I was prone to doubtfulness, his foolish pride assumed the task the old vintage had commenced, and so he unearthed written evidence in the form of musty manuscript, and dry official records of the British Colonial Office to support many of the salient features of his remarkable narrative. I do not say the story is true, for I did not witness the happenings which it portrays, but the fact that in the telling of it to you I have taken fictitious names for the principal characters quite sufficiently evidences the sincerity of my own belief that it MAY be true. The yellow, mildewed pages of the diary of a man long dead, and the records of the Colonial Office dovetail perfectly with the narrative of my convivial host, and so I give you the story as I painstakingly pieced it out from these several various agencies. If you do not find it credible you will at least be as one with me in acknowledging that it is unique, remarkable, and interesting.
Burroughs immediately mentions after this that John Clayton is itself a fictitious name, invented by 'Tarzan' to mask his real identity. Critical reception While Tarzan of the Apes met with some critical success, subsequent books in the series received a cooler reception and have been criticized for being derivative and formulaic. The characters are often said to be two-dimensional, the dialogue wooden, and the storytelling devices (such as excessive reliance on ) strain credulity. According to author (who himself wrote stories of a, 's ), Burroughs wrote Tarzan of the Apes just so that he could 'find out how bad a book he could write and get away with it.' While Burroughs is not a polished novelist, he is a vivid storyteller, and many of his novels are still in print. In 1963, author wrote a piece on the Tarzan series that, while pointing out several of the deficiencies that the Tarzan books have as works of literature, praises Edgar Rice Burroughs for creating a compelling 'daydream figure'.
Critical reception grew more positive with the 1981 study by Erling B. Holtsmark, Tarzan and Tradition: Classical Myth in Popular Literature. Holtsmark added a volume on Burroughs for Twayne's United States Author Series in 1986.
In 2010, Stan Galloway provided a sustained study of the adolescent period of the fictional Tarzan's life in The Teenage Tarzan. Despite critical panning, the Tarzan stories have remained popular. Burroughs's situations and the elaborate details he works into his fictional world, such as his construction of a partial language for his great apes, appeal to a worldwide fan base.
Tarzan walking, in this display from an Ankara amusement park. The Tarzan books and movies employ extensive to a degree common in the times in which they were written. This has led to criticism in later years, with changing social views and customs, including charges of since the early 1970s.
The early books give a pervasively negative and stereotypical portrayal of native, including. In The Return of Tarzan, Arabs are 'surly looking' and call Christians 'dogs', while blacks are 'lithe, ebon warriors, gesticulating and jabbering'. One could make an equal argument that when it came to blacks that Burroughs was simply depicting unwholesome characters as unwholesome and the good ones in a better light as in Chapter 6 of where Burroughs writes of Mugambi, '.nor could a braver or more loyal guardian have been found in any clime or upon any soil.' Other groups are stereotyped as well. A Swede has 'a long yellow moustache, an unwholesome complexion, and filthy nails', and Russians cheat at cards. The aristocracy (except the House of Greystoke) and royalty are invariably effete. In later books, Africans are portrayed somewhat more realistically as people.
For example, in, while the depiction of Africans remains relatively primitive, they are portrayed more individualistically, with a greater variety of character traits (positive and negative), while the main villains are white people. Burroughs never loses his distaste for European royalty, though.
Burroughs' opinions, manifested through the narrative voice in the stories, reflect common attitudes in his time, which in a 21st-century context would be considered racist. However Thomas F. Bertonneau writes about Burroughs' 'conception of the feminine that elevates the woman to the same level as the man and that—in such characters as Dian of the Pellucidar novels or Dejah Thoris of the Barsoom novels—figures forth a female type who corresponds neither to desperate housewife, full-lipped prom-date, middle-level careerist office-manager, nor frowning ideological feminist-professor, but who exceeds all these by bounds in her realized humanity and in so doing suggests their insipidity.' The author is not especially mean-spirited in his attitudes. His heroes do not engage in or in. In Tarzan of the Apes, details of a background of suffering experienced at the hands of whites by Mbonga's 'once great' people are repeatedly told with evident sympathy, and in explanation or even justification of their current animosity toward whites.
Although the character of Tarzan does not directly engage in violence against women, feminist scholars have critiqued the presence of other sympathetic male characters who do with Tarzan's approval. In, the men of a fictional tribe of creatures called the Alali gain social dominance of their society by beating Alali women into submission with weapons that Tarzan willingly provides them. Following the battle, Burroughs states: 'To entertain Tarzan and to show him what great strides civilization had taken—the son of The First Woman seized a female by the hair and dragging her to him struck her heavily about the head and face with his clenched fist, and the woman fell upon her knees and fondled his legs, looking wistfully into his face, her own glowing with love and admiration. (178)' While Burroughs depicts some female characters with humanistic equalizing elements, Torgovnick argues that violent scenes against women in the context of male political and social domination are condoned in his writing, reinforcing a notion of gendered hierarchy where is portrayed as the natural pinnacle of society.
In regards to race, a superior–inferior relationship with valuation is also accordingly implied, as it is unmistakable in virtually all interactions between whites and blacks in the Tarzan stories, and similar relationships and valuations can be seen in most other interactions between differing people, although one could argue that such interactions are the bedrock of the dramatic narrative and without such valuations there is no story. According to 's Sundown Towns, this may be a vestige of Burroughs' having been from, a former (a town that forbids non-whites from living within it). Gail Bederman takes a different view in her Manliness and Civilization: A Cultural History of Gender and Race in the United States, 1880–1917. There she describes how various people of the time either challenged or upheld the idea that 'civilization' is predicated on white masculinity. She closes with a chapter on 1912's Tarzan of the Apes because the story's protagonist is, according to her, the ultimate male by the standards of 1912 white America. Bederman does note that Tarzan, 'an instinctivily chivalrous Anglo-Saxon', does not engage in sexual violence, renouncing his 'masculine impulse to rape.'
However, she also notes that not only does Tarzan kill black man Kulonga in revenge for killing his ape mother (a stand-in for his biological white mother) by hanging him, 'lyncher Tarzan' actually enjoys killing black people, the cannibalistic Mbongans, for example. Bederman, in fact, reminds readers that when Tarzan first introduces himself to Jane, he does so as 'Tarzan, the killer of beasts and many black men.' The novel climaxes with Tarzan saving Jane—who in the original novel is not British, but a white woman from Baltimore, Maryland—from a black ape rapist. When he leaves the jungle and sees 'civilized' Africans farming, his first instinct is to kill them just for being black. 'Like the lynch victims reported in the Northern press, Tarzan's victims—cowards, cannibals, and despoilers of white womanhood—lack all manhood. Tarzan's lynchings thus prove him the superior man.' Despite embodying all the tropes of white supremacy espoused or rejected by the people she had reviewed (, ), Bederman states that, in all probability, Burroughs was not trying to make any kind of statement or echo any of them.
'He probably never heard of any of them.' Instead, Bederman writes that Burroughs proves her point because in telling racist and sexist stories whose protagonist boasted of killing blacks, he was not being unusual at all, but was instead just being a typical 1912 white American. Tarzan is a white European male who grows up with apes. According to 'Taking Tarzan Seriously' by Marianna Torgovnick, Tarzan is confused with the social hierarchy that he is a part of. Unlike everyone else in his society, Tarzan is the only one who is not clearly part of any social group. All the other members of his world are not able to climb or decline socially because they are already part of a social hierarchy which is stagnant.
Turgovnick writes that since Tarzan was raised as an ape, he thinks and acts like an ape. However, instinctively he is human and he resorts to being human when he is pushed to. The reason of his confusion is that he does not understand what the typical white male is supposed to act like.
His instincts eventually kick in when he is in the midst of this confusion, and he ends up dominating the jungle. In Tarzan, the jungle is a microcosm for the world in general in 1912 to the early 1930s. His climbing of the social hierarchy proves that the European white male is the most dominant of all races/sexes, no matter what the circumstance. Furthermore, Turgovnick writes that when Tarzan first meets Jane, she is slightly repulsed but also fascinated by his animal-like actions. As the story progresses, Tarzan surrenders his knife to Jane in an oddly chivalrous gesture, which makes Jane fall for Tarzan despite his odd circumstances. Turgovnick believes that this displays an instinctual, civilized chivalry that Burrough believes is common in white men. Unauthorized works.

The Weintraub productions portray a Tarzan that is closer to Edgar Rice Burroughs' original concept in the novels: a jungle lord who speaks grammatical English and is well educated and familiar with civilization. Most Tarzan films made before the mid-fifties were black-and-white films shot on studio sets, with stock jungle footage edited in.
