Chapter 3 of: THE ISLAND OF DR. MONREAU
In Chapter 3 of the book of The Island of Dr. Monreau the main character Edward Prendick was walking around the boat and he saw something that was very odd to him. He was startled when he saw a "black face". Prendick said "It was a singularly deformed one. The facial part projected, forming something dimly suggestive of a muzzle, and the huge half-open mouth showed as big as white teeth as I had ever seen in a human mouth. His eyes were bloodshot at the edges, with scarcely a rim of white round the hazel pupils." (9) He was explaining it like what he was seeing a beast or a creature he had never seen before. Than as they got up to him, Montgomery had startled the man and had called him a devil then told him to get out the way. Montgomery was telling the man with the black face "...You have no business here, you know.... Your place is forward." He was talking to him like he didn't belong on the ship with everyone and that they didn't want him but the man with the black face seemed scared and had told him that they wont have him forward. (9) Than after that Prendick and Montgomery had walked to the captain of the ship because the man with the black face was being terrorized by men on the ship. The man who was terrorizing him started to laugh and Montgomery went to the Captain to defend him. The captain was in no need of help because the man was drunk. "That man's a passenger", said Montgomery. "I'd advise you keep your hands off him" "Go to hell!" said the captain loudly. He suddenly turned and staggered towards the side. "Do what I like on my own ship," he said. (12) Since the captain was so drunk him and Montgomery started to argue and almost had a fight but Prendick prevented that from happening.
