speaking of the law. Click

Moreau brings Parker back to the house and explains his experiments. It
is now plainly obvious that the Doctor has some kind of God complex going

to discover that the boat is sinking. Moreau blames it on the "natives" |

be a long night. |
The manimals are angry because Moreau has broken the law. They realize
that Moreau is not the creator, just a man who can be killed like others. |
