Savage

Since my problem is theological, a higher being must be included for there to be a possible solution. As to the location, it can be anywhere but lies mainly in my mind. There are no physical characters besides myself and does not take place outside of my brain.

After reading about Achebe's life, I found that he did not write the book in his native tongue to later be translated. He wrote it in the tongue of the white man for a specific reason: to teach the whites who the true monsters of uncharted territory are. The white men prove to be the savages and the mosnters, invading the land and forcing their religion upon the indeginious peoples without thinking of the consequences of their actions. Rousseau's savage is uncivilized and, for the most part, extrememly primitive, but contrasts to the proper and educated white monsters of Achebe's work.
