Summary
'Tarzan's First Love'. Tarzan's courtship of the female ape Teeka ends in failure when her preference turns to their mutual friend, the male ape Taug. Tarzan wrestles with his humanness versus his ape-ness. The allusion to Helen of Troy enriches the story, making Tarzan and Taug's fight over Teeka take on symbolic proportions. Stan Galloway writes: 'when Burroughs chooses to name Helen as an objective correlative for Teeka, he expects both literal and emotional connections to occur.' Tarzan's final claim of the story - 'Tarzan is a man. He will go alone.' - echoes the plight of Adam in the Garden of Eden.
