There are five skirmishes. In every one the ape proves himself physically superior. All five are followed by an opportunity to argue the merits of his case. Is he becoming human? Where is the evidence? Does his brotherly love for humanity suffice him to enter the embrace of all humanity, or is there still something to prove? He would be willing to give his all for humanity, but demands are slippery when what is required is not more, but something less of a je ne sais quois.
In each skirmishes, the ape's knowledge of humanity increases along with a simultaneous decrease in his desire to become fully accepted. Why did he join the infantry in the first place? Wasn't it in the confusion of his first sugar high, which had first flooded him with love for all of God's creatures?
An ape can but live and learn: he must try to join humanity again another day although he should stop blaming all his wrong perceptions on sugar.
