Chapter Summaries & Analyses
After punishing Cachito, Doctor Moreau decides to host a grand dinner for his guests and show off the hybrids: “[H]e wanted it to be a demonstration, to show his creations were trustworthy” (130). During the dinner, Isidro and Eduardo are intrigued by the hybrids but also suspicious; they think that Moreau’s research is a waste of money, and doubt whether the hybrids can ever be trusted. They compare the hybrids to the Indigenous people who work on their estates, and argue that both groups need to be closely monitored and harshly disciplined.
After the dinner, Eduardo and Carlota speak privately. Eduardo gently suggests that it would be good for the hybrids to begin working on various Lizalde plantations, and that it would be good for Carlota to travel and see more of the world. Eduardo and Carlota slip away and kiss; Carlota remains conflicted about whether she could be happy with him as her husband.
