Explanation and Analysis:

White Fang is an example of a Bildungsroman, a genre of novel that focuses on the moral and psychological development of its protagonist, starting in childhood and ending when they reach maturity in adulthood. Bildungsromans often feature a protagonist that faces various trials and difficulties in their lifetime, leading to the shaping of their character for the better; a journey from immaturity to maturity; a spiritual crisis that gives rise to personal transformation; and a feeling of loneliness and alienation in youth that, by the novel’s end, has given way to a sense of security, belonging, and self-realization once they have found their place in society.
