b) What is M'ling's relationship with Montgomery?
M’ling, the black-faced man is Montgomery’s devout and well-trained attendant. However, Montgomery is either very kind or very abusive to M’ling depending on whether he is drunk or not.
2: Why is the Leopard Man more dangerous at night?
Dr. Moreau has hypnotized the beasts on the island by a law. By this hypnotism certain things (such as attacking human beings or each other) have been made impossible for them. These prohibitions have been made part of their personality by weaving in their minds. However this hypnotism is weakened at night. In feline beast people, such as Leopard Man this weakness of hypnotism is even more evident, so Leopard Man becomes more dangerous at night.
3: What does Prendick observe about the female Beast People?
Prendick the narrator observes that female beast people are less numerous than their males. In spite of the monogamy law (the practice of marrying or state of being married to one person at a time) females were secretly abused. Prendick also mentions that female beasts were instinctively aware of their repulsive clumsiness, and took more care in wearing decorative clothes like humans.
