someone answer me plz!!

To analyze Benito cerreno,you will want to think about why the eponymous hero "follows his leader'" or what cause his physical and mental decline. do you think that his experience as babo's captive makes him realize how dehumanizing slavery is, or is he mourning the death of his comrades and the loss of his illusion of superiority over the negroes? in the other words, does his identification with the slaves or with the spanish colonizers lead to his breakdown?
