Excerpt: "In the portrait of the Feegeean you will expect something frightfully hideous, -knowing, as you already do, that he is an eater of human flesh, -a man of gigantic stature, swarthy skin, bloodshot eyes, gaunt, bony jaws, and terrific aspect. You will expect this man to be described as being naked, -or only with the skin of a wild beast upon his shoulders, -building no house, manufacturing no household or other utensils, and armed with a huge knotted club, which he is ever ready to use:-a man who dwells in a cavern, sleeps indifferently in 11the open air or under the shelter of a bush; in short, a true savage. That is the sort of creature you expect me to describe, and I confess that just such a physical aspect-just such a condition of personal hideousness-would be exactly in keeping with the moral deformity of the Feegeean. You would furthermore expect this savage to be almost devoid of intellectual power, -altogether wanting in moral sense, -without knowledge of right and wrong, -without knowledge of any kind, -without ideas. It seems but natural you should look for such characteristics in a cannibal."
