Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker claims that every man has a beast within, spanning apparently wild and refined examples. The contrast between an animal-like figure and a lover of a romantic film makes the generalisation playful. It presents an instinctive side as something shared beneath differing tastes and manners.
