Colonialism and Young Black Kid

At the rest of the novel Guerrillas, by V. S Naipaul, Jane, a British woman from capital of the United Kingdom is murdered by Bryant, a young black kid aboriginal to the Caribbean island where the novel is based. Behind this murder we could discuss guilt and responsibility done different perspectives. Can we re all in ally hold Bryant responsible for his actions? Jane is a woman who is not content with herself, she is naive as Roche defines her and out of balance-out of touch with herself and the scholarship of reality. She is careless about large numbers feelings and ignorant about the consequences of her actions.The incident that she wavers from passion and pleasure through meaningless sexual encounters to rape and vehemence are all feelings that remind her shes alive, vigor less and nothing more. Consequently, being in a post-colonial society full of animosity and frustration, all her mistakes and imprudent actions lead her to her own death. This is an example of how the presence and impact of the effectual colonizer damaged not only those around him but themselves, in this case Naipauls character of Jane is a representation of the indifference and egoistic post-colonial personality of the dominant race in the colonized territories.In conclusion we could designate that Jane did act in a selfish and unconcerned manner. Conscious that she had the ersatz of returning to her homeland, escaping the islands reality and trying to bring back with her an brave experience full of love affairs and careless decisions, she unawarely clashed with the islanders a people whose disadvantages in life were reflected through anger, despair, emotional repression and a hopelessness that Bryant and lever embodied.Naipaul tries to engage the reader into feeling empathy towards the latter characters by placing Jimmy first, as the frustrated revolutionary who lives his own lie and only wishes to see himself as a hero that satisfies the oppressed desire of revenge again st the powerful dominant, whereas Bryant is the underprivileged native young child overwhelmed by hostility and thwarted dreams who could stir become a better person if given the opportunity. In attachment of all these factors and circumstances, who is really to blame?
