Analyze the conflict between Balboa and the monk in the flashback. What does this reveal about Balboa’s character?

Sagot :

The conflict shows that Balboa is arrogant and is satisfied with the innocence of others.

Based on your question, we can assume that you are referring to the novel "Balboa" written by Sabina Murray.

By reading this novel, we can see that:

  • The novel portrays the exploration of Spanish Vasco Balboa, in America.
  • Upon arriving in America, Balboa shows himself to be an arrogant, presumptuous, and power-hungry man.
  • He takes advantage of the innocence of the natives and acts like a god, causing the exploration of the natives and even their death, in search of riches.
  • Realizing this, a Spanish monk incriminates Balboa.
  • The monk claims that he acts wrongly and an argument is established between the two.

The monk curses Balboa for the behavior he promotes and Balboa complains and claims that the monk has no authority against him as he is superior.

This positioning of Balboa shows how arrogant, pretentious, presumptuous, and haughty he is.
