INTERPRET Think back about the difference between who Balboa is and
how he would like to be perceived. How does this contrast affect your
understanding of his character?


Sagot :

Balboa is an ordinary man, a Spanish explorer, but he wants to be seen as a kind of deity, a kind of hero. This affects the character's comprehension, as he is more greedy than an ordinary explorer.

Although you haven't shown it, we can see that this question is about "Balboa," written by Sabina Murray.

By reading this novel, we can see that:

  • The novel seeks to represent the moments when Vasco de Balboa worked as a Spanish explorer on the American continent.
  • Like all explorers, Balboa was greedy and looking for wealth in American territory.
  • But Balboa showed even greater greed, as he didn't just want wealth, but wanted to have full control of the region.
  • For this reason, he presented himself to the natives as a god, being worshiped and obtaining many riches.

He wanted to be seen as a hero, a being beyond human capabilities. These characteristics make the reader perceive him as a character different from his peers since for him, the exploration was not enough.
