The Noble Savage in the 20th Century Fiction
The only way to do that is to fullfill his
destiny and become a jedi, and that is where Yoda steps in. He mentors Luke in the way of the
Force, teaching him patience and the balance between the Light and the Dark side, how to
restrain his anger and recklessness. Luke is the hero the consumer follows. Yoda is the mentor
who gives the actual lessons. Luke does not teach us anything, we learn with him in course of
the story. Yoda is the savage with the quirky apprearance, strange voice and grammatically
incorrect sentences, bottomless wisdom and badass Force skills.
Mr. Miyagi from Karate Kid (1984) is another example. The hero here is Daniel LaRusso, an
outcast who can not handle his bullies. He meets a handyman Mr. Miyagi who agrees to teach
Daniel the tricks of karate so he could build his confidence, defeat his villain and get the girl
he likes. Again we see Miyagi as something unusual he's japanese, has a weird teaching
technique and uncommon philosophy
