4.3.2 Catarina de Escobar’s Peer Relationship with the Indians

John Cooper has built many peer relationships with the Indians as long as his journey to find a new life; on the contrary, Catarina de Escobar tends to restrict herself from being connected with any of the Indians. It is due to the fact that she has several bad experiences every time she meets the Indians. Referring to the theory of gender diversity, women are more irritable compared to men when they have to deal with harsh and unpleasant relationship and experiences. They tend to cry and restrain their feeling of being victimized by creating a firm barrier between her life and the environment Crawford et. al., as cited in Brannon, 1996, pp. 210-215. It is reasonable that Catarina de Escobar restricts herself from being any connection with the Indians since she perceives that they are all uncivilized and barbaric. Catarina de Escobar’s perception about the Indians also support the reasons why she tends to stay away from them. Another reason that supports the Catarina de Escobar’s perception-making and restrictive action comes from Jersild 1955 who says, “a child cannot be independent when he lives in solitude” p. 232. It is evident that Catarina de Escobar lives among a noble family who indeed protects and regulates her manners as well as a daughter of a noble man should be. Thus, her isolation from the wild life and the wild people suffers her with severe shocks she experiences during her meeting with the Indians. The only peer relationship she experiences with the Indian is with John Cooper, despite that he is not an Indian. Catarina de Escobar considers him as an Indian and even worse as a savage. It is because John Cooper has been living with PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 115 the Indians and adopts the way that the Indians do. This expression that Catarina de Escobar considers him as a savage is clearly mentioned by John Cooper when he is tangled in a conversation with Carlos about taking a girl as a wife. “‘Yes, it is true that Catarina de Escobar is in my thoughts, amigo,’ John Cooper replied slowly. ‘But still thinks I am a savage, a white man dressed in buckskin who lives the Indian way…’” p. 379. From John Cooper’s explanation above, it is clear that Catarina de Escobar tends to restrict herself from being tangled with any of the Indians, including John Cooper. In the conclusion, Catarina de Escobar has never built any peer relationship with the Indians and her relationship with John Cooper cannot be identified so. It is because John Cooper is not an Indian.
