概要:

In both Typee and Omoo (1847), Melville’s narrators provide long, detailed descriptions concerning the missionaries’ efforts. The narrator in each text portrays the work of the missionaries as being detrimental to the lives of the natives and Typee and Omoo work together to show the disparity in the living situations that have been created for the natives. One of the primary focuses of this article will be to contrast the Typee’s connection with nature … against the manner by which the Tahitian’s have been indoctrinated into the “white civilization”, thereby removing them from the communion with nature still experienced by the Typee. This contrast of environments appears much clearer when the books are presented together; ultimately, they show how the Typee natives coexist with their environment without requiring external factors while the “civilized” natives are losing their grasp on the natural world within which they once existed. 続きを見る
