The Island of Dr. Moreau

Just as the Law resembles religious commandments, the inhabitants of the island are analogous to certain elements and characters of the Bible. For example, Moreau represents God with his stereotypical white hair and beard, unquestioned authority, ability to make new creatures, and role as distributor of pleasure and punishment. But he is not a true Creator in the biblical sense in that he cannot create the human form, nor even can he imitate it perfectly. He aspires to be God but produces only monsters.
