How we cite our quotes: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
Rarely, rarely, have I met such a wild creature, a human being who was so utterly isolated from the world, and, by a sort of firm deadly resignation, completely closed to all surrounding life. (1.2.11)
Kamante, the boy that the Baroness is describing here, is different not only in the way that all the natives are different from her, but he's even different from them. This makes him doubly foreign; he's an outcast and he knows it, so he is an "other" to white and black people alike.
Quote #2
The Natives became silent under the drought, I could not get a word on the prospects out of them, although you would have thought that they should have known more about the signs of the weather than we did. (1.3.12)
The Baroness recognizes herself and an undefined "we" as the foreigners in this case. The Natives ought to know more about the rain forecast because they're in their own land. When it comes to predicting the weather, the Baroness is willing to tip her hat to the natives.
Quote #3
An African Native Forest is a mysterious region. (1.4.3)
Foreignness is rooted in place; the person who is from elsewhere is a foreigner. So it kind of makes sense that the Baroness, a foreigner in Africa, would find the forests of Africa to be so mysterious. It's kind of funny though—do you think they're anymore mysterious than the northern Danish forests?
