The man with the red sweater would most likely represent Buck's first taste of aggression, seeing it was the dog's first encounter of true violence.

In The Call of the Wild, the man in the red sweater is the man who buys Buck. He is a savage, cruel man who beats animals with a club. This is Buck's first contact with violence and primitive law. It is also his introduction into the wildest, most cruel parts of life. Therefore, the man in the red sweater most likely represents the wild and the violence that Buck will continue to become familiar with in his new life.
