  McTeague
McTeague took his dinner at two in the afternoon at the car conductors' coffee-joint on Polk Street.
McTeague status as only a “practical dentist” is of course the reason why he is forced to close his practice by San Francisco city officials.

McTeague, who adapts at first to a higher standard of living with Trina, is offset when he is forced to stop practicing dentistry and by Trina’s command, move to a smaller place.
McTeague, Trina, Zerkow, and Maria are all a part of the lower class and none of them are capable of escaping it.
In studying the class restrictions Norris places on the McTeagues, where even after they have enough money to move upwards in society and yet cannot because of their uncontrollable instincts, Norris seems to (whether consciously or not) be defending the rights of the middle class.

 GradeSaver: McTeague: A Story of San Francisco Essay: McTeague's Women in a Greedy World
In the character Trina, who is Mcteague’s wife, we see avarice’s power to transform a person from a good daughter and wife to an unkempt, selfish, and completely unsalvageable human being.
In addition, Mcteague is a physically dominating character; he is a huge man, immensely strong, and could (and later does) forcefully bend Trina to his will without breaking a sweat.

 Frank Norris : McTeague : Chapter 1

 Frank Norris' McTeague
McTeague achieves his identity, his self, through his dentistry practice, often being referred to in the novel simply as "the dentist." Still, there is a barely suppressed savagery attributed to McTeague, a bestial quality seen in the numerous theriomorphic images used in describing his movements.
McTeague, having lost his means for economic production gradually loses ownership of his self, and Trina accelerates her already-begun project of producing McTeague, now a new and utterly dependent McTeague who hasn't the economic wherewithal to support the new habits and expectations Trina had previously instilled within him.
The physical brutality to which McTeague resorts after this point in the novel is the brutality of a beast, because that is precisely the condition to which McTeague has been reduced, the state of a semi-domesticated animal cruelly treated by the very master upon whom it depends for food and shelter.

 McElrath
Because McTeague is a novel of degeneration depicting an individual as a victim of forces, hereditary and environmental, beyond his control and even his comprehension, readers look for related Naturalistic traits in Norris’s vision and technique in that work.
She is the loved one who happens to vomit during the scene in which McTeague unexpectedly blurts a proposal of marriage as she shakes off the effects of anesthesia.
McTeague drinks champagne at his wedding supper and pronounces it the best beer he has ever had, to the merriment of all—all, that is, except literary critics who suppose that Naturalism precludes the possibility of such elements being present in a book like McTeague.

 Mcteague   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
McTeague and his wife are driven out of their home, their lifestyle and their social niche by capitalistic competition.
This is supported by the dentist asking if McTeague "want[s] to trade anything for a diploma?" (Norris, 155) This finality of this comment, and the lack of evidence for Marcus's guilt, show the Other Dentist as having participated in the capitalist struggle against his competition.
McTeague was a weaker being, therefore he deserved to be removed so that the strong, or the more fit being, could thrive.

 The Black Commentator - A Canadian Ban on U.S. Rapper?
McTeague attempts to do is not only completely illogical and nonsensical, but outright racist.
Furthermore, if McTeague is vehemently opposed to the genre of "gansta-rap," then he should be equally and publicly vocal on the gangster tendencies of his own political party, since exposed for their corruption through the "Sponsorship scandal." Mr.
McTeague would be tickled to find out that there are more similarities between Fiddy’s "Get Rich or Die Tryin" mantra and his homies up on Parliament Hill.

The life of McTeague the dentist revolves around three objects: a canary he keeps in a cage and carries everywhere, a concertina upon which he can play “some half-dozen very mournful airs”, and an enormous gold-plated molar, that he dreams of installing as a sign outside the shop.
Yet it also suggests that there is an integrity in McTeague's genuine pleasure in “plebeian culture” that connects him with more socially and culturally elevated tastes in art.

McTeague's naivety and/or stupidity could be called blind devotion, but he was that way before he met Trina, so that theory is out.
Then as the story progressed, McTeague did get more violent towards her, but that was not surprising to me. The day that McTeague was working on her teeth and put her to sleep, and he kissed her, made me realize then that he was a little odd.

She was for someone else--Marcus, no doubt--or at least for some finer- grained man. She should have gone to some other dentist; the young fellow on the corner, for instance, the poser, the rider of bicycles, the courser of grey-hounds.
McTeague began to loathe and to envy this fellow.

 WHITE v. McTEAGUE
McTEAGUE, HIGBEE, CASE, COHEN, WHITNEY and TOKER, P.A. [¶1] Ronald White appeals from a judgment entered in the Superior Court (Cumberland County, Warren, J.) granting McTeague, Higbee, Case, Cohen, Whitney and Toker, P.A.'s (McTeague) motion for a summary judgment.
and, consequently, that his claim against McTeague is not barred by the six-year statute of limitations governing malpractice actions against attorneys.
White opposed the motion, arguing the limitations period did not begin until Higbee's negligence caused a judicially cognizable injury; that date, he argued, was not until 1998 when section 95 foreclosed the 1979 workers' compensation claim.

 McTeague - Frank Norris - Penguin Group (USA)
An early example of American realism, McTeague was considered truly shocking when first published at the turn of the century.
This searing portrait of the downfall of a slow-witted dentist and his avaricious wife embodies Frank Norris's powerful insights into conflicting forces of heredity and social conditioning.
As Kevin Starr points out in his introduction, McTeague continues to be regarded as a central statement of evolutionary awareness in late nineteenth-century America and as representative of the best work of a school of writers that included Stephen Crane and Theodore Dreiser.
