Book Review: The Jungle Name: Institution: Tutor: Date of Submission: Book Review: The Jungle Capitalism and corruption are two of the main themes of the novel The Jungle. The main character, Jurgis Rudkus, and his partner, Ona Rudkus, experiences hard times as soon as they arrive in Packingtown. Jurgis faces corruption and immorality, facilitated by the lack of law and order, greed from the politicians, and exploitative employers. The author focuses on corruption as a social ill that is fuelled by the Capitalist economic system. At the beginning, few cases of corruption occur but towards the finish, Jurgis becomes involved in corruption himself. Their family was swindled when they wanted to purchase a house, which can be blamed on the capitalist market’s environment. The author documents a number of incidences where outright corruption directly affects the lives of the characters.
