He makes friends with a wolf, but can't decide whether his loyalty should saty with Thornton or the wolf. A devastating Indian attack kills everyone at Buck's camp including Thornton, and Buck is the only one who survives. He once again hears the call of the wild and goes off because his ties to Thornton were broken by death. Buck in the end joins the wolf pack and lives his life in the wilderness.
What is John Thornton's personality?
John Thornton is a courageous, compassionate, wise, sensible man who always craves another adventure. Bearing the greatest resemblance to the author in character and in name (Jack London's given name was John London), John Thornton rescues Buck from Hal's cruel whip, nursing the poor dog back to health. Buck grows to love this man because of this kindness, helping Thornton in turn when he is drowning in a river, when he is attacked by another man, and also when John makes a bet that Buck can pull a sled weighing half a ton all by himself. Thornton then takes Buck on a new adventure for gold in the Yukon Territory, although he is killed by the Yeehat warriors while Buck is away hunting moose in the forest. Upon returning to the camp, Buck slays these dancing Yeehats in rage, mourning for his dead friend. His love for Thornton had always been stronger than the call of the wild; however, with Thornton dead, Buck reenters the forest and joins a wolf pack, living life from then on as a wild beast.
