Class Discussion
Follow along as we go through
“White Man’s Burden” and fix any
summaries that may be wrong.
Stanza1
Take up responsibility = the burden the
white man has: Send out your
sons/children to help the natives in the
colonies. Here they will have to live in exile
and work hard for the benefit of the
confused, wild, and bad-tempered natives in
the “new”-caught colonies. These natives are
half-devil, half-child.
Stanza 2
Take up the White Man’s Burden:
remain patient and hide the threat of
using force and do not show your
superiority. Explain the same thing
100 times in an easily understood
language. Work for the natives profit
and their gain.
Stanza 3
Take up the White Man’s Burden: Fight
for peace. Fight against hunger and
diseases. And when you are near your
goal (your purpose: to help the natives),
then you will see that laziness and
foolishness will bring all your hopes to
nothing/will spoil your hopes…
Stanza 4
Take up the White Man’s Burden: It is
not the showy rule of kings, but hard
work (comparable to slavery, or sweeping
the street, all the common things). You
shall not enter the ports or walk on the
roads: you shall make them with your life
and mark them with your dead bodies.
Stanza 5
Take up the White Man’s Burden: and you
will get the usual/old reward: Those whose
conditions you improve will blame you.
Those you guard will hate you, and the large
number of people you slowly bring gently
forward will cry, “Why did you free us from
slavery?” (Excerpt from the Bible)
Stanza 6
Take up the White Man’s Burden: you
should not bend down or do less or talk
too loud about freedom to hide your
tiredness, because the silent, badtempered and gloomy people will judge
you and your gods by all you cry out loud
or whisper and all you do or leave
undone.
Stanza 7
Take up the White Man’s Burden: grow up,
become an adult man. The easily bought
honour (laurel) and the freely given praise
will come to find out if you really are a man
and have gained dear-(bought at a high cost)
wisdom through all the thankless years: you
will be judged by your peers (people of rank,
status, or ability).
Allusion
What was the ALLUSION in
“White Man’s Burden”? What
does it mean?
