2.Clan of the Cave Bear
2.Background
Ayla is orphaned as a young child when an earthquake opens a fissure in the ground into which the camp of her parents and the group of which they are part fall and are destroyed.Ayla is swimming in the river beside the campsite when the earthquake starts and watches in horror as this happens.Wandering aimlessly, alone, frightened, hungry and helpless, Ayla eventually crosses paths with a cave lion which chases her into a narrow crack in a rock wall; attempting to pull Ayla out, the lion gashes open Ayla's leg, leaving four deep parallel wounds on her thigh.After a day spent hiding in terror Ayla, driven by thirst, emerges from her hiding place to drink at the nearby stream and then collapses, delirious from fever and starvation.In the second paragraph of the first chapter of Clan of the Cave Bear, Auel states that Ayla is five.See The Clan of the Cave Bear, The Valley of Horses, The Mammoth Hunters, The Plains of Passage, and The Shelters of Stone for a detailed synopsis of Ayla's life.Almost every male character in the series finds Ayla exceptionally beautiful, though Ayla describes herself as 'big and ugly'.Another word frequently used to describe her is 'exotic', indicating that she seems a bit foreign to everyone who meets her, and that her own people live somewhere else.One of Ayla's most important insights is the concept that men have something to do with the conception of children.Clan people believe that pregnancy and birth are a matter of spirit totems competing; when a woman menstruates, it means her totem has fought off another and has won, but if a woman gets pregnant it means her totem has been overcome.Ayla suspects that this all has something to do with sex, or the "relieving of a man's needs" with a woman.She comes to think of this as a combination of male and female "essence".Ayla has a longstanding problem with Broud, the son of the leader's mate, who is jealous of the attention she receives.These actions cause his mother's mate to question whether Broud is fit to be leader.Upon becoming leader, Broud puts a death curse on Ayla and forces her to leave the Clan forever, leaving her son Durc behind.Throughout the series, there have been references to Ayla having great spiritual and intellectual powers, many of which may actually be simple reasoning and common sense.Iza surmises that Ayla was born to a medicine woman of the Others, though Ayla has very little memory of her birth mother and knows nothing of the tribe of the Others to whom she was born.Although Ayla does not have the Clan's ability to access ancestral memories, Iza succeeds in training her as a medicine healer.In her childhood and young adulthood she invents a couple of things the Clan has never heard of, and creates innovations to existing tools and their uses (see below).Creb makes telepathic contact with her, and she follows him through his psychic exploration of the Clan 'memories'.It appears that Auel intends to describe Ayla seeing a glimpse of the modern era, and beyond to the next stage of human evolution.Creb has seen all these things with her, and telepathically orders her out of the cave when she returns to her own mind, knowing in his heart that only the Others will continue to evolve...She experiences his emotions in her dreams, and may have picked up her knowledge of how to draw a spark from flint and iron pyrite from her psychic connection with him.After Jondalar comes to live with her and begins teaching her his language, she dreams of her own mother speaking to her, and of an earthquake, which betoken tragedy and upheaval to Ayla.After this dream, Ayla speaks Jondalar's language fluently, with only a trace of a Clan accent, whereas the day before she had difficulty putting together coherent sentences.This may be a sign of extreme linguistic adaptability, rather than a spiritual gift.The Mammoth Hunters
Ayla continues to have psychic and prophetic experiences linked to the rituals used by the Mamutoi people.She dreams that she has two sons, Durc and an unknown son who does not appear to have Clan lineage at all; they are on the verge of open conflict, and Ayla struggles to reach them in time to prevent the destruction of one son by the other.Shaman Mamut indicates to Jondalar, Ranec, and Vincavec, another Mamutoi shaman who wants to marry Ayla, that Ayla has some great purpose.Vincavec attempts to hypnotize Ayla, but she is able to resist this, as well as the spiritual influences of others.Though Ayla contends that her ability to tame and win the loyalty of animals is only a matter of time, patience and proper handling, her gift for making friends of numerous animals is considered a sign of her supernatural gifts.Jondalar and Ayla both insist that she does not have any such gifts, but they do not stay in one place long enough to convince anyone otherwise.Ayla continues to have prophetic dreams.Shelters of Stone
Upon arriving at the Ninth Cave, Jondalar's dwelling, Ayla realizes that this cave is identical with one she's been seeing in her dreams.Her dreams and waking psychic visions become more frequent and more powerful, and the female shaman Zelandoni can sense them.However, Ayla rejects Zelandoni's offers to train her as a priestess, saying she merely wishes to live a normal life.Zelandoni finally convinces Ayla to join the spiritual devotees, known as Those Who Serve the Mother.Invention and skills
Two Stone Technique: after almost being harmed by a Lynx when she missed with her sling, Ayla develops a technique to reload her sling after a cast during the downfall for immediate use.Diagnosis: as reasoned by Iza, although Ayla could not memorize all Clan medicinal lore, Ayla has the ability to intuitively reason and recognize the causes of illnesses and treat them appropriately.Brassiere: Ayla is the only Clan woman permitted to hunt (small game only, using a sling).The Clan of the Cave Bear, chapter 26))
Atlatl: Works with her partner Jondalar to develop a spear thrower.Domestication: out of loneliness in her valley, Ayla has raised a horse, Whinney, her foal Racer, a Cave Lion kitten she calls Baby, and a wolf she simply calls Wolf.Horse Equipment: Inspired by the idea that she can ride Whinney, Ayla invents drag poles, carrying packs, and notably the travois.Surgical Stitches: When Ayla first encounters Jondalar his leg has been torn open by a Cave Lion, to the point where the muscle is hanging off the bone.Ayla determines that in order to heal properly, his leg would have to be physically held closed.She notices how his clothing (in the typical style of his people) is formed of panels of cloth tied together with thongs, and has the idea to literally tie his leg back together by boring holes in his flesh and muscle, then threading cord through the holes and tieing them off.Much later (in The Shelters of Stone), Wolf is mauled almost to death by another wild wolf; Ayla uses her "thread puller" sewing needle to stitch his wounds.Durc
Ayla's son, fathered by Broud.Durc was born when Ayla was eleven years old, the result of Broud's repeated rapes in his attempt to exert control over Ayla.Magnon appearance, Durc is thought to be deformed by the Clan.According to Clan law, a child must live seven days before being named and accepted in the Clan, and Ayla attempted to force his acceptance by running away until seven days had passed.Durc had heavy brows like the Clan, but a thin neck and pronounced chin like Ayla, and he can speak in both Clan signs and verbal speech.Shortly after Iza's death, Ayla lost her mother's milk and Durc was nursed by the other nursing mothers of the Clan.As a result, Durc used the 'mother' sign for every woman of the Clan, and reserved the spoken word 'Mama' for Ayla.When Broud ordered Ayla cursed with death and forced her to leave, Ayla left Durc in the care of her sister Uba and under the old clan leader Brun's protection.Before he died, Creb came to believe that Durc is Ayla's gift to the Clan, to ensure that some vestiges of the Clan will survive as they die out.Jonayla
