Jack London's story "To Build a Fire" takes place in the harsh wilderness of the Yukon, where temperatures have fallen to more than 50 degrees below zero. A man and his dog are on their way to a camp. The author makes it clear that the man does not quite understand how dangerous it is to travel in such conditions, although the dog understands on some level. At one point, the man's foot breaks through a patch of ice, and he "wets himself halfway to the knees." To keep from getting frostbite, he tries to build a fire, but he fails again and again until he eventually freezes. When the dog smells death, it trots off down the trail toward the camp.
Jack London's "To Build a Fire," the theme of instinct over intellect appears throughout. The dog, for example, cannot think in degrees of temperature as the man can; however, it feels a "vague but menacing apprehension." When the dog gets its paws wet, it removes the ice with its teeth, which London calls a "matter of instinct." The man has no such instincts, which is why he is traveling in such weather in the first place, ignoring the advice of an older man who warned him not to. With his intellect, the main character rationalizes traveling out in the cold, calling the old man "womanish." The closest the man gets to following instinct is when he has a "wild idea" to kill the dog and warm his hands in its carcass, but the idea comes too late to save him. The dog lives, and the man dies. Instinct wins over intellect.
