What does the novel, The Island of Dr. Moreau, say about religion?
Dr. Moreau devises a set of laws that the beast folk have to recite and obey:
Not to go on all-fours; that is the Law. Are we not Men?
Not to suck up Drink; that is the Law. Are we not Men?
Not to eat Fish or Flesh; that is the Law. Are we not Men?
Not to claw the Bark of Trees; that is the Law. Are we not Men?
Not to chase other Men; that is the Law. Are we not Men?
One of the beast folk is called the Sayer of the Law. He seems to represent a clerical/priestly figure for them.
Who benefits from this law that Dr. Moreau devises? Well Dr. Moreau benefits from it in that he has all the beast folk in fear of him and thus has imposed order on the island. Anybody has anything further to add?
