Please give a character description of Mr. Brown.

Mr. Brown is the first white, European missionary to arrive in Umuofia. What I like about Mr. Brown is that he is a wonderful representation of what Christianity is about and how Christians should act. He is kind, patient, and hardworking. He is an excellent listener to the people he is trying to convert as well. As a result, he does not try to brow-beat the people around him with ideas of how superior he and his religion are. Mr. Brown is also respectful of the current and existing traditions that the native people have. It is because of all of these positive attributes that Mr. Brown is able to win over large numbers of converts. To further highlight his positive attributes, a reader should look to the character of Mr. Smith, who is a Christian in name only. While Mr. Brown is a loving and patient man, Mr. Smith is vengeful and manipulative.
