** Also in terms of body modding, there has been much discussion on Moreau's idea of being a bad idea from the start but none towards the idea of willing versus unwilling subjects. One can argue Moreau's surgical procedures, though harsh, did work in the physical molding the forms. His doing it on creatures incapable of consenting and attempt to make them behave like men when they wanted to be beasts would be where he screwed up. As without his culture of fear, the Beast Men dropped their human like tendencies though unfortunately for Prendick, some of which in this mindset were more dangerous than they were before Moreau worked on them.
to:
*** In fairness, [[spoiler: Prendick realizes that part of the reason the beast folk remained docile is BECAUSE Moreau established he and Montgomery (And later Prendick) were gods. Since it worked up to that point, for the most part, why rewrite the plot to a much more dangerous gambit? Also, don't forget, Montgomery more or less does what you're suggesting. He gets drunk, fraternizes and shares the alcohol with the friendly beast folk, and has a "party." Then he gets attacked by an unfriendly faction, who kill him. Based on how quickly and effectively they do so, you could argue that they were lying in wait for the opportunity to take Montgomery out too, and did so. The attack also pretty much establishes that some of the beast folk are always going to be unpredictably aggressive (like the Hyena-Swine) so about the only tool at Prendick's disposal is to try to claim that Moreau and Montgomery's deaths were intentional, and hope for the best. Considering that a good portion of the remaining beast folk DO believe him, and that he lives long enough for an alternative method for escape to wash up, it seems Prendick's decision wasn't entirely wrong.]]
