Description
⭐ Catholic Star-Rated Review (★★★★☆ 4.5/5) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (4.5/5) Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle is a thrilling continuation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ legendary hero, presenting Tarzan not merely as a jungle adventurer, but as a figure of nobility shaped by both nature and moral conscience. From a Catholic perspective, Tarzan represents the natural law written on the human heart (Romans 2:15). Though raised outside civilization, he instinctively defends the weak, honors truth, and upholds justice. His character reflects the timeless reality that virtue is not merely taught—it is rooted in the soul. Burroughs’ storytelling celebrates courage, sacrifice, and the triumph of order over chaos. Tarzan’s struggle between his animal upbringing and his higher human calling mirrors the spiritual struggle within every person between the flesh and the spirit (Galatians 5:17). While written as adventure fiction, the story subtly affirms the dignity of man, the importance of moral law, and the heroic ideal of self-mastery. A powerful and entertaining classic that resonates with deeper truths about human nature and virtue.
