Syn : {
Beast }, {
Brute }.
Usage :
When we use these words in a figurative sense ,
as applicable to human beings ,
we think of beasts as mere animals governed by animal appetite ;
and of brutes as being destitute of reason or moral feeling ,
and governed by unrestrained passion .
Hence we speak of beastly appetites ;
beastly indulgences ,
etc .;
and of brutal manners ;
brutal inhumanity ;
brutal ferocity .
So ,
also ,
we say of a drunkard ,
that he first made himself a beast ,
and then treated his family like a brute .
