Theology Samba
In this essay, I will contrast the experiences of God and the self in the country of Paris and Diabolle. I will analyze the lives of Samba, the main character, and Samba’s father (the Knight). Samba experiences of himself and God progressively change as he moves from Africa to the more modern in France. I will also discuss the role that the Thierno played in Samba’s life and the differences of how they lead their lives. Lastly I will reflect on what I have learned from the contrast that I have described, and I will try to relate it to my own life. In this novel Samba Diallo comes from an aristocratic family, known as Diallobe’s. Samba was raised in Africa where he was brought up in a strict environment that was solely based around religion. Samba was chosen to be the natural successor of Theirno the spiritual successor of the society. Samba is sent to a French school in order to both save his country from being overwhelmed by westernization and to learn the secrets of the white man’s power in the west. This will be a difficult task for Samba because he was raised around religion and will be forced to try to understand a materialistic civilization in France, where God isn’t seen in every part of life.
