#TARZAN X MOVIE WIKIPEDIA SKIN#
He wants to sew clothes out of the skin of a lioness that he has killed in order to dress like a human being, but it turns out to be too tough. As a young adult, Tarzan first met black natives from whom he stole poison arrows. His more complex awareness is of great use in this. With the help of the knife he first gained the respect of competing monkeys of his tribe and finally, after several power struggles among each other, the rank of tribal chief. In the books he also learns a lot about the civilized world. He translates the words into monkey language, which means that he can read the word 'human', for example, but cannot speak it because the word does not exist among the monkeys. He also finds various books on the history of mankind and learning primers for children with the help of which he teaches himself to read for years without being able to speak a word of English. In the hut he discovers a hunting knife, which he finally takes after injuring himself and realizing the purpose of the object.

The skeletal remains of his parents leave him indifferent, as he knows nothing about his origins and, on top of that, has already seen too many dead in his life to feel sorry for them. While strolling alone in the forest, Tarzan finds the hut in which he lived with his human parents for a year. While he is nowhere near as strong as his monkey brothers, he is a lot quicker than his comrades. He is surprised that, although he is so different, he is accepted, especially since he has long been aware of his otherness. In the next few years, Tarzan grew up slowly compared to the monkey children, but as a child he already achieved the physical strength of a competitive athlete by around 30 years.Īt the age of about 10, Tarzan saw his face for the first time consciously in a pond he was drinking from and was startled at the strange sight. The monkey species is not mentioned in the novels they are neither gorillas nor chimpanzees, but so-called "large anthropoids". Tar-zan means "white skin" in the Mangani language, the monkey language created by Burroughs.

Instead, she places her own baby, previously killed by the monkey chief, in the cradle of the little hut. From then on, the orphan is called "Tarzan" and is raised by this group of monkeys, among whom the monkey woman Kala takes special care of him. The mother dies when he is one year old his father gives his life fighting a gang of monkeys. Her son is named John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke. They build a small hut where they feel safer than in the wild jungle. The two become victims of a mutiny, are abandoned on the African coast and settle down there. Tarzan is the son of a British lord and his wife, who is still pregnant at the beginning.
