I really enjoyed reading your entry, you make some very valid points....I think alot of the literature we have been reading this semester focuses on the repucussions of jelousy. I think in Malouf's novel the Europeans are jelous of the skills of the Aborginal people and therefore mistreat them so they remain powerful. William Blake certainly challenged the ways of the world through many of his works and so did William Shakespeare and I think many people tried to sabotage their ways of thinking because deep down they envied this independant thinking.
