“So: Without man, the world was unfinished, was just nature, red in tooth and claw. It was in chaos, in a state of primeval anarchy.” “That’s right. That’s it exactly.” “So it needed what?” “It needed someone to come in and…straighten it out. Someone to put it in order.” “And what sort of person is it who straightens things out? What sort of person takes anarchy in hand and puts it in order?” “Well…a ruler. A king.” “Of course. The world needed a ruler. It needed man.” “Yes.” “So now we have a clearer idea what this story is all about: The world was made for man, and man was made to rule it.”
