Tarzan

Tarzan Edgar Rice Burroughs tarafından yaratılmış bir öykü karakteridir. İlk olarak 1912'de Maymunların Tarzanı adlı romanla ortaya çıkmış ve daha sonra 23 devamı daha yazılmıştır. Tarzan gemideki isyancılar tarafından Afrika sahillerinde ıssız bir bölgeye bırakılmış İngiliz bir Lord ve Lady'nin oğullarıdır. O henüz bebek iken anne ve babası ölmüş ve onu bilimsel olarak tanımlanmamış bir maymun türünün üyeleri yetiştirmiştir. Kala onun maymun annesidir. Tarzan (beyaz adam) onun maymun alemi ismidir; İngilizce ismi ise Clayton, Lord Greystoke'dur. Genç bir adam olduğunda, Jane ile tanışır, ve Jane Baltimore'ye döndüğünde gerçek aşkını bulmak için ormanı terkeder. Tarzan ve Jane evlenirler, ve bir süre İngilterede yaşarlar. Bir oğulları, Jack, olur ve bir maymun ismi olan Korak adını alır. Tarzan uygarlığın ikiyüzlülüğü karşısında dayanamaz ve Jane'le birlikte Afrikaya dönerler ve orada ölümsüzlüğe erişerek halen yaşarlar.

Edebiyat 
Tarzan dünyadaki en çok bilinen edebi karakterlerden birisidir. Burrough'a ait iki düzineden fazla kitap haricinde Tarzan karakteri filmler, radyo, televizyon programları, çizgi diziler, ve çizgi romanlarda boy gösterdi. Birçok parodiye konu oldu ve de korsan yayınları da görüldü.

Bilimkurgu yazarı Philip José Farmer Tarzan Alive!'''ı yazmış ve bu eserde onun gerçek bir kişi olduğunu kısa öykülerle onun biyografisi şeklinde anlatmıştır.Tarzan of the Apes'in telif hakları birleşik devletlerde sona ermiş ve kamu malı olmuş olsa da , TARZAN adı halen Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.'in bir markası olarak hakları saklıdır.

 Aldığı eleştiriler Tarzan of the Apes başarılı eleştiriler almış olsa da, serinin bazı kitapları olumsuz eleştiriler de almıştır. Eleştirilerin ana noktası bunların türemiş olması ve basmakalıp ifadelerden oluşmasıdır.

Eleştirilere rağmen, Tarzan hikâyeleri çok popüler olmuştur. Hayranları anlatılan melodramatik durumlardan ve özellikle maymunlara konuşmak için ortaya koyduğu dil'den çok etkilenmişlerdir.

1970'lerin başlarından itibaren, Tarzan kitap ve filmleri ırkçılıkla da suçlanmaya başladı. Bu durum siyah ve afrikalıların daha kaba ve gelişmemiş olarak tanıtılması sonucu ortaya çıkmıştı. Pozitif siyah karakterler olsa da genellikle beyaz adamın hizmetçisi olarak gösteriliyorlardı.
