Few pop cultural characters come with as rich an artistic lineage as Tarzan. The exotic appeal of author Edgar Rice Burroughs' vision of an Englishman raised by apes and in command of the beasts of the African jungle. Tarzan has the animalistic brutality you'd expect of a Man raised by Apes. As a young adult, Tarzan meets a young American woman, Jane Porter, who along with her father and others of their party is marooned at exactly the same spot on the African coast where Tarzans parents died twenty years earlier. When she returns to America, he leaves the jungle in search of her, his one true love. In later books, Tarzan and Jane marry and he lives with her for a time in England.
