The Fear of the Unknown of the Island of Dr. Moruea and At the Mountain of Madness

In both stories the narrator had a sense of fear of the places their were at, in chapter 9 of the   island of Dr. Moruea when Prendick left the enclosure to wonder the island everything went wrong when he saw the die rabbit and then saw the beast monster. After that was when he was fearing for his life and try to get back to the enclosure but he kept getting lost. when he got to the forest he started seeing things in the forest like beast people chanting a ritual. It didn’t look the same when it got darker he ended up seeing shadow like fingers and more. Then he was getting chase by one of the beast people and his imagination was going wild he didn’t know what going to happen to him when he finally got back to the enclosure he did not know what he had saw  was real or not and when he ask Montgomery he did not tell Prendick anything about the monster. It was the same way with at the mountain of madness on page 103 when the men couldn’t get in contact with Lake they left there camp to find out what had happened as the there were heading to the camp the narrator stated that he started to see mirages of thing. Their imagination was going wild as it got darker the more they were heading closer to the camp the more the mirages grew. once they got to the camp they saw all the men dead and the dogs too and also the sleds gone. The didn’t know what to say and they keep all the crazy details to themselves and didn’t tell the Arkham. Also Danforth saw something but didn’t tell anyone because he didn’t know what he saw was real or not. So you can see the connection of both stories because the narrator were try to enjoy themselves at the place of the unknown, Prendick was try to not be afraid of the island and accepted it because he found the island to be beautiful and amazing something he never seen before but when he saw those things that I previously stated he was afraid of being on the island and wanted to leave. At mountain of madness the men were so proud and happy of there great discovery in the Arctic but once they saw what happened and they couldn’t find out how they this happened  to their men they just wanted to get out.
