Step-by-step explanation:
Rudyard Kipling's children's book "The Jungle Book" revolves around the story of a young boy named Mowgli who was raised up by wolves in a forest, away from humans. The story follows Mowgli growing up amidst the fight for power among the animals in the forest.
The characters and the way they are affected by the law of the Jungle are as follows-
Shere Khan is a Bengal tiger who wanted to kill Mowgli and also take over the authority of being the leader of the animals in the forest. But the law prevents him from attacking or killing any human in the belief that if a man is 'touched', then that will only bring more men into the forest and pose a danger for all animals.
Akela is a wolf, the leader of the wolf pack. But his old age prevents him from continuing his position as a leader and would be replaced as he is old and weak.
Bagheera is a black panther who took care of and protect Mowgli. He saved the little boy by giving the wolf pack a bull in exchange for the boy's life.
Mowgli is a human who got left behind in the forest while he was a baby. The law of the jungle allows him to be safe for his 'man-features and identity' gives him protection from being attacked or killed.
