POST 1 : THE MYTH OF THE NOBLE/GOOGD SAVAGE
Nobel savage, is in literature, an idealized concept of uncivilized man, who symbolizes the innate goodness of one not exposed to the corrupting influences of civilization. The myth of the good savage is the idealization of man in the state of nature. The idea that "the good savage" lives in a paradise on earth before the original sin developed in the eighteenth century, having its foundations in the explorers and conquerors of the Renaissance. The myth of the good savage has allowed contemporary writers to develop a form of social criticism of the aberrations and injustices of society. The most popular adaptation currently is The Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Montaigne discusses the subject in the chapters Cannibals and Coaches of his Essays. Many critics maintain that the author is in favor of indigenous peoples who live quietly in the wild and against Europeans who are only interested in enriching themselves
