概要 This paper examines how Babo's behaviors and words influence the slave owner, Don Benito, and explores the process of the loss of Don Benito's authority. The failure of his authority is caused by his mental fatigue and by the interventions of the insensitive but comical American leader, Captain Delano, and his miscommunications. He misunderstands Babo's behaviors and words, which cause miscommunication with Don Benito; eventually, his insensitiveness brings about a breakdown in communication and the death of Don Benito. Manhood could be proved several times through not only economic success but also political autonomy or leadership abilities. (B5)
