A quotation by Eric Thomas admirably alludes to the relationship between Tarzan and his mother, Kala, throughout the movie Tarzan, “It’s not about where you come from, it’s about heart.” Although Tarzan grew up with gorillas, he constantly tried to acquire a sense of belonging to them. Kala, Tarzan’s ape mother, revealed that although visually, they appear notably different, internally, they have the same heart.

Moreover, our self-concept, forms by how others react and respond to us as we use peoples’ comments to validate, reinforce, or alter our perceptions of who we think we are. When Tarzan met Jane, she said to him, “Oh, I’m in a tree with a man who talks to monkeys.” This was his first inkling that he had indeed been more similar to Jane than his ape family. This idea further developed as Jane’s father said, “Moves like an ape, but looks like a man.” At this point, it became eminently clarified that Tarzan was in fact a man, not a monkey. In reality, Tarzan matured lacking familiarity about humans, so he just continuously believed he
