The Island of Doctor Moreau Chapter 22 - The Man Alone

In which the narrator finds himself alone upon the vast and silent ocean, reflecting deeply on his harrowing experiences and the unsettling transformation of his perceptions towards mankind. He grapples with a persistent, almost spectral fear that the animalistic instincts he witnessed might lurk beneath the surface of civilised men, finding solace only in solitude, contemplation, and the distant constancy of the stars.
