Tarzan ( John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke) is a fictional character, a raised in the by the great apes; he later experiences civilization, only to reject it and return to the wild as a heroic adventurer.

Created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan first appeared in the novel Tarzan of the Apes (magazine publication 1912, book publication 1914), and subsequently in 23 sequels, several books by Burroughs and other authors, and innumerable works in other media, both authorized and unauthorized.

Character biography
Tarzan is the son of British aristocrats who were marooned on the coast of by mutineers. When Tarzan was an infant, his mother died, and his father was killed by , leader of the ape tribe by whom Tarzan was adopted.

Soon after his parents' death, Tarzan became a feral child, and his tribe of apes is known as the , of a species unknown to science. Kala is his ape mother. Burroughs added stories occurring during Tarzan's adolescence in his sixth Tarzan book, Jungle Tales of Tarzan.

Name
"Tarzan" is the ape-name of John Clayton, Greystoke, according to Burroughs's Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle. (Later, less canonical sources, notably the 1984 film Greystoke, make him Earl of Greystoke.) The narrator in Tarzan of the Apes describes both "Clayton" and "Greystoke" as fictitious names, implying that, within the fictional world that Tarzan inhabits, he may have a different real name.

Burroughs considered other names for the character, including "Zantar" and "Tublat Zan", before he settled on "Tarzan". In the language of the Mangani, or great apes, Tarzan means "white–skin". Though the copyright on Tarzan of the Apes has expired in the United States and in other countries, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. claims the name "Tarzan" as a trademark.

The community of Tarzana, Los Angeles, occupies the former Tarzana Ranch, owned by Burroughs and named for Tarzan.

Jane
As an 18-year-old, Tarzan meets a young American woman named Jane Porter. She, her father, and others of their party are marooned on the same coastal jungle area where Tarzan's human parents were 20 years earlier. When Jane returns to the United States, Tarzan leaves the jungle in search of her, his one true love. In The Return of Tarzan, Tarzan and Jane marry. In later books, he lives with her for a time in England. They have one son, Jack, who takes the ape name Korak (the Killer). Tarzan is of what he sees as the of , so Jane and he return to sub-Saharan Africa, making their home on an extensive estate in British East Africa Tarzan the Untamed by Edgar Rice Burroughs that becomes a base for Tarzan's later adventures.

As revealed in Tarzan's Quest, Tarzan, Jane, Tarzan's monkey friend , and their allies gained some of the Kavuru's pills that grant immortality to their consumer.

Physical abilities
Tarzan's jungle upbringing gives him abilities far beyond those of ordinary humans. These include climbing, clinging, and leaping as well as any great ape. He uses branches, swings from to travel at great speed, and can use his feet like hands (he prefers going barefoot because he relies on the flexibility of bare feet), a skill acquired among the .

His strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, and swimming skills are extraordinary; he has wrestled not just full-grown apes including , but also lions, , , , leopards, , tigers, giant seahorses, and even (when he visited ). Tarzan is a skilled tracker, and uses his exceptional hearing and keen sense of smell to follow or avoid predators.

Language and literacy
As originally depicted, Tarzan/John Clayton is very intelligent and articulate, and does not speak in broken English as the classic movies of the 1930s depict him.This practice was established with the Johnny Weissmuller films and continued with the films of , but during the era of the 1950s, the character returned to speaking normal English; some 1930s films (such as one starring ) also depicted him speaking normally. He can communicate with many species of jungle animals, and has been shown to be a skilled impressionist, able to mimic the sound of a gunshot perfectly.

Tarzan is literate in English before he first encounters other English-speaking people. His literacy is self-taught after several years in his early teens by visiting the log cabin of his infancy and looking at children's primer/picture books. He eventually reads every book in his father's portable book collection, and is fully aware of geography, basic world history, and his family tree. He is "found" by traveling Frenchman Paul D'Arnot, who teaches him the basics of human speech and returns with him to civilization. When Tarzan first encounters D'Arnot, he tells him (in writing): "I speak only the language of my tribe—the great apes who were Kerchak's; and a little of the languages of Tantor, the elephant, and Numa, the lion, and of the other folks of the jungle I understand."

Tarzan can learn a new language in days, ultimately speaking many languages, including that of the great apes, , , English, , , , many other , , , , and , as well as the languages of the Ant Men and of .

Literature
Tarzan has been called one of the best-known literary characters in the world., and Peter Nicholls. 1993. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction. St. Martin's Press. . p. 178: "Tarzan is a remarkable creation, and possibly the best-known fictional character of the century." In addition to more than two dozen books by Burroughs and a handful more by authors with the blessing of Burroughs's estate, the character has appeared in , , television, , and . Numerous parodies and pirated works have also appeared.

Critical reception
While Tarzan of the Apes met with some critical success, subsequent books in the series received a cooler reception and have been criticized for being derivative and formulaic. The characters are often said to be two-dimensional, the dialogue wooden, and the storytelling devices (such as excessive reliance on coincidence) strain credulity. According to (who himself wrote stories of a feral child, The Jungle Books ), Burroughs wrote Tarzan of the Apes just so he could "find out how bad a book he could write and get away with it."Bederman, Gail. 1995. Manliness and Civilization: A Cultural History of Gender and Race in the United States, 1880–1917. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. p. 219.Bederman, Gail. 1995. Manliness and Civilization: A Cultural History of Gender and Race in the United States, 1880–1917. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. p. 219.

While Burroughs was not a polished novelist, he was a vivid storyteller. Most of his novels are still in print., and Peter Nicholls. 1993. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction. St. Martin's Press. . p. 178: "It has often been said that ERB's works have small literary or intellectual merit. Nevertheless,...because ERB had a genius for the literalization of the dream, they have endured." In 1963, author wrote a piece on the Tarzan series that, while pointing out several of the deficiencies that the Tarzan books have as works of literature, praises Burroughs for creating a compelling "daydream figure." "Tarzan Revisited" by Gore Vidal . Critical reception grew more positive with the 1981 study by Erling B. Holtsmark, Tarzan and Tradition: Classical Myth in Popular Literature.Erling B. Holtsmark, Tarzan and Tradition: Classical Myth in Popular Literature, Greenwood Press, 1981. Holtsmark added a volume on Burroughs for Twayne's United States Author Series in 1986.Erling B. Holtsmark, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Twayne's United States Author Series, Twayne Publishers, 1986. In 2010, Stan Galloway provided a sustained study of the adolescent period of the fictional Tarzan's life in The Teenage Tarzan.Galloway, Stan. 2010. The Teenage Tarzan: A Literary Analysis of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Jungle Tales of Tarzan. McFarland.

Despite critical panning, the Tarzan stories have remained popular. Burroughs's melodramatic situations and the elaborate details he works into his fictional world, such as his construction of a partial language for his great apes, appeal to a worldwide fan base.

Unauthorized works
After Burroughs's death, a number of writers produced new Tarzan stories. In some instances, the estate managed to prevent publication of such works. The most notable example in the United States was a series of five novels by the pseudonymous "Barton Werper" that appeared 1964–65 by Gold Star Books (part of ). As a result of legal action by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., they were taken off the market. Similar series appeared in other countries, notably Argentina, Israel, and some Arab countries.

Modern fiction
In 1972, author Philip José Farmer wrote , a biography of Tarzan using the that he was a real person. In Farmer's fictional universe, Tarzan, along with and , are the cornerstones of the Wold Newton family. Farmer wrote two novels, Hadon of Ancient Opar and Flight to Opar, set in the distant past and giving further knowledge of the antecedents of the lost city of Opar, which plays an important role in the Tarzan books. In addition, Farmer's A Feast Unknown, and its two sequels Lord of the Trees and The Mad Goblin, are pastiches of the Tarzan and Doc Savage stories, with the premise that they tell the story of the real characters upon which the fictional characters are based. A Feast Unknown is somewhat infamous among Tarzan and Doc Savage fans for its graphic violence and sexual content.

Tarzan in other media
Film
The first Tarzan films were adapted from the original Tarzan novels, which appeared within a few years of the character's creation. The first actor to portray the adult Tarzan was in 1918's film Tarzan of the Apes. With the advent of , a popular Tarzan film franchise was developed, lasting from the 1930s through the 1960s. Starting with Tarzan the Ape Man in 1932 through twelve films until 1948, the franchise was anchored by former Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller in the title role. Tarzan films from the 1930s on often featured Tarzan's companion , his consort Jane (not usually given a last name), and an adopted son, usually known only as "Boy." However, productions by from 1959 onward dropped the character of Jane and portrayed Tarzan as a lone adventurer. Later Tarzan films have been occasional and somewhat .

There were also several serials and features that competed with the main franchise, including Tarzan the Fearless (1933) starring and The New Adventures of Tarzan (1935) starring . The latter serial was unique for its period in that it was partially filmed on location () and portrayed Tarzan as educated. It was the only Tarzan film project for which Burroughs was personally involved in the production.

Weissmuller and his immediate successors were enjoined to portray the ape-man as a speaking broken English, in marked contrast to the cultured aristocrat of Edgar Rice Burroughs's novels (the being more linguistically plausible). With the exception of Burroughs's co-produced The New Adventures of Tarzan, this "me Tarzan, you Jane" characterization of Tarzan persisted until the late 1950s, when Weintraub, having bought the from producer , produced Tarzan's Greatest Adventure (1959) followed by eight other films and a television series. The Weintraub productions portray a Tarzan that is closer to Burroughs's original concept in the novels: a jungle lord who speaks grammatical English and is well educated and familiar with civilization. Most Tarzan films made before the mid-1950s were black-and-white films shot on studio sets, with jungle footage edited in. The Weintraub productions from 1959 on were shot in foreign locations and were in color.

More recently, Tarzan, the Ape Man, starring Miles O'Keeffe and , was released in 1981. voiced Tarzan in Disney's animated film of the same name, released in 1999 (making it the first major animated motion picture to star the Ape Man) and his ape family were portrayed as gorillas in the film. This version marked a new beginning for the ape man, taking its inspiration equally from Burroughs and the 1984 live-action film . Since Greystoke, two additional Tarzan films have been released, 1998's Tarzan and the Lost City and 2016's The Legend of Tarzan, both that drew inspiration from Edgar Rice Burroughs's writings.

Western Publishing published Tarzan in 's #134 & 161 in 1947, before giving him his own series, Tarzan, published through and later Gold Key Comics from January–February 1948 to February 1972; many of these issues adapted Burroughs's novels.

Literature

named Tarzan and another Burroughs character, John Carter, as early inspirations for his creation of .

Popular culture
Tarzan is often used as a to indicate a similarity between a person's characteristics and that of the fictional character. Individuals with an exceptional 'ape-like' ability to climb, cling and leap beyond that of ordinary humans may often receive the nickname 'Tarzan'.[4] Examples are retired players pitcher and outfielder

Comedian was often prompted by her audiences to perform her trademark . She explained that it originated in her youth when she and a friend watched a Tarzan movie.

Themes of gender and race
In her Manliness and Civilization (1995), Gail Bederman describes how various people of the time either challenged or upheld the idea that "civilization" is predicated on white . She closes with a chapter on Tarzan of the Apes (1912) because the story's protagonist is, according to her, the ultimate male by the standards of 1912 White Americans. Bederman does note that Tarzan, "an instinctively chivalrous Anglo-Saxon," does not engage in sexual violence, renouncing his "masculine impulse to rape." However, she also notes that not only does Tarzan kill black man Kulonga in revenge for killing his ape mother (a stand-in for his biological White mother) by him, " Tarzan" actually enjoys killing black people, for example the cannibalistic Mbongans.Bederman, Gail. 1995. Manliness and Civilization: A Cultural History of Gender and Race in the United States, 1880–1917. Tarzan and After. pp. 219–240.

Bederman, in fact, reminds readers that when Tarzan first introduces himself to Jane, he does so as "Tarzan, the killer of beasts and many black men". The novel climaxes with Tarzan saving Jane (who in the original novel is not British, but a southern White woman from ) from a . When he leaves the jungle and sees "civilized" sub-Saharan Africans farming, his first instinct is to kill them just for being Black. "Like the lynch victims reported in the Northern press, Tarzan's victimscowards, cannibals, and despoilers of white womanhoodlack all manhood. Tarzan's thus prove him the superior man."

According to Bederman, despite Tarzan embodying all the tropes of white supremacy espoused or rejected by the people she had reviewed (Theodore Roosevelt, G. Stanley Hall, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Ida B. Wells), Burroughs, in all probability, was not trying to make any kind of statement or echo any of them. "He probably never heard of any of them." Instead, Bederman writes that Burroughs proves her point because, in telling racist and sexist stories whose protagonist boasted of killing black people, he was not being unusual at all, but was instead just being a typical 1912 White American.

Race
The Tarzan books and movies employ extensive stereotyping. With changing social views and customs this has led to criticism, including charges of racism since the early 1970s. The early books give a pervasively negative and stereotypical portrayal of , including and possibly . In The Return of Tarzan, North African Arabs are "surly looking" and call Christians "dogs", while sub-Saharan Africans are "lithe, ebon warriors, gesticulating and jabbering".

In regards to race, a superior–inferior relationship with valuation is implied in virtually all interactions between white and black people in the Tarzan stories, and similar relationships and valuations can be seen in most other interactions between differing people. According to 's Sundown Towns, this may be a vestige of Burroughs's having been from Oak Park, Illinois, a former (a town that forbids non-white people from living within it).Loewen, James (2018). Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism. The New Press. p. 227.

Tarzan is a European male who grows up with apes. According to "Taking Tarzan Seriously" by Marianna Torgovnick, Tarzan is confused with the that he is a part of. Unlike everyone else in his society, Tarzan is the only one who is not clearly part of any . All the other members of his world are not able to climb or decline socially because they are already part of a social hierarchy which is stagnant. Turgovnick writes that since Tarzan was raised as an ape, he thinks and acts like an ape. However, instinctively he is human and he resorts to being human when he is pushed to. The reason of his confusion is that he does not understand what the typical white male is supposed to act like. His instincts eventually kick in when he is in the midst of this confusion, and he ends up dominating the jungle. In Tarzan, the jungle is a microcosm for the world in general in 1912 to the early 1930s. His climbing of the social hierarchy proves that the European male is the most dominant of all races/sexes, no matter what the circumstance. Furthermore, Turgovnick writes that when Tarzan first meets Jane, she is slightly repulsed but also fascinated by his animal-like actions. As the story progresses, Tarzan surrenders his knife to Jane in an oddly chivalrous gesture, which makes Jane fall for Tarzan despite his odd circumstances. Turgovnick believes that this displays an instinctual, civilized chivalry that Burroughs believes is common in white men.Turgovnick, Mariana "Taking Tarzan Seriously" from Gone Primitive, University of Chicago Press 1990 Ch
