The main character of this book is dominated by the "extraordinary muscle power" of fate (1), weak resistance to their own sexuality, and the social and natural influences surrounding them. The world of Judah is the only one that is best suited to survive, and he obviously can not adapt to the most appropriate number. Along the strong Darwinian underlying flow between this book, "natural choice" ensures that the descendants of Jude can not survive.
