For Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle”, the author describes Jurgis to be very masculine and strong as he is the head of the household and the central provider of the family. He is a strong personality and is always motivated to work. He is physically strong and can take care of the family and their needs by himself. Ona on the other hand is fully feminine and has very submissive characteristics in contrast to Jurgis. For Jurgis’s character I think Henry Cavill is the perfect option for Jurgis as he has played similar characters. He literally played Superman and Jurgis was the superman of their family. Henry Cavill is well built and masculine and European and he has played in similar periodic movies, I think Henry Cavill will be able to portray Jurgis perfectly. For Ona’s character, I believe Keira Knightley is a perfect option. Keira Knightley is known for her role in Pirates of the Caribbean, Pride and Prejudice and Ana Karenina. Keira Knightley has played similar feminine characters and been in the same type of period films just like Henry Cavill. And since both are British, I think they will portray the European character perfectly. These two are perfect for playing the characters.
