From the play ti Jean's and brothers Why does the devil turn himself into a planter ?
Answers
Explanation:
The play’s antagonist, the Devil has two disguises: the Planter and the Old Man, also called Papa Bois. According to the Bolom, one of the Devil’s assistants, the Devil longs to feel a human emotion but is unable to. This is why he challenges Gros Jean, Mi-Jean, and Ti-Jean to a challenge—he wants to see if anyone can provoke anger in him. The Devil easily beats Gros Jean and Mi-Jean at the challenge, by taking advantage their big egos to make them angry. But humble, faithful, and rebellious Ti-Jean proves impossible for the Devil to beat, as Ti-Jean refuses to play by the Devil’s unfair rules. When disguised as the Planter, the Devil is a white man who owns a sugar cane and cotton plantation, where he employs many black Caribbean workers for low wages and subjects them to difficult working conditions.
