setting of my problem/ achebe/ rousseau

The characters of my problems would be me. My inability to make my own decisions was a part of me since I was a kid. Well, I'm mostly afraid of making the wrong choices because I hate being wrong. So I mostly let others (mostly my sister since I adore her so much) do the decision making for me.

okay, so. after reading the book, i assume the monster would be the white men. you know, they try to convert people (which they did), take over land, disregards people's beliefs and all that good stuff.

for some reason, i couldn't relate rousseau's savage to the book. even though i think it's the white men that are monsters, these white men have their society unlike rousseau's savage. Rousseau's savage is a person that is alone and without society so this puzzles me.
