Yes‚ Rudyard Kipling does portray the animal characteristic and its habitat correctly and here is the reason why I think the author is right. In the story “Dinner Party” last paragraph. The cobra is under the hostess feet the whole time. That show that the cobra is very sneaky and dangerous‚ also it has the poisonous venom that attacks human nerves. In the movie “Rikki Tikki Tavi” When the cobra attacks‚ it spread its hood when it’s in threatened or it is attacking its prey. In the movie Rikki Tikki

The main theme of The Jungle is the evil of capitalism. Every event‚ especially in the first twenty-seven chapters of the book‚ is chosen deliberately to portray a particular failure of capitalism in Sinclair’s view‚ inhuman and violent.
