Explain "The Beast in the Jungle" as a psychological ghost story and a comparison of Editha and John Marcher.
- Marcher is like Editha, who unknows reality. Both want the great and the romantic and thus overlook the important real things.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The Beast in the Jungle's protagonist, John Marcher, believes that he's destined for some rare and maybe terrible fate, which he refers to as a crouching “beast in the jungle.” This “beast” represents Marcher's fate, though Marcher doesn't know what that fate will be.
