Kipling wrote ‘The White Mans Burden’ believing that white men are getting the short end of the stick in Africa, but Morel thought the opposite and expressed his feelings in ‘The Black Mans Burden’.
In ‘The White Mans Burden’ Rudyard Kipling believes that Europeans are helping Africans by ending famine and sickness and not being appreciated for the hard work that they do, which can be seen in lines 15-16: To seek anothers profit,/ And work anothers again . Men who are working are not allowed to go enjoy the fruits of their labor, which can be seen in lines 29-32: The ports ye shall not enter,/ The roads ye shall not tread,/ Go make them with your living,/ And pave them with your dead . He believes that Africans hate what they have done for them. Lines 42 through 44 state: Ye dare not stoop to less/ Nor call too loud on Freedom/To cloak your weariness .
The Europeans that are working on Africa are up for the challenge and they are not taking the easy way out. In ‘The Black Mans Burden’, Edward Morel believes that Europeans have taken over Africa for the exploitation of money while neglecting the natives, this can be seen in a sentence in the first paragraph: The white man has massacred the African in heaps. The African has survived, and it is well for the white settlers that he has . Later he states: It [Europeans] wrecks his polity, uproots him from the land, invades his family life, destroys his natural pursuits and occupations, claims his whole time, enslaves him in his own home . Europeans have taken everything from them for their own welfare. He later states: When the system is forced upon him, the tropical African droops and dies . Africans cant handle forced labor.
The two pieces differ in views of the natives. Kipling believes that Europeans are helping Africans by ending famine and disease and building infrastructure, but Morel believes that the natives are being invaded, enslaved, and killed. In ‘The Black Mans Burden’ written by Morel, Europeans are becoming wealthier due to the exploitation of Africans. In ‘The White Mans Burden’ Kipling believes that white men are being exploited by helping to improve the lives of Africans.
In conclusion, Morel and Kipling have opposite beliefs about who has an unfair position in Africa. Morel wrote ‘The Black Mans Burden’ in response to Kiplings work ‘The White Mans Burden’. In the end, Europeans valued their motives of making money and exploration over the underprivileged natives, so they exploited and killed Africans for their own welfare. Europeans were not there as missionaries but as greedy businessmen.
