Shows a clear-minded character who is guided by what he believes to be correct. For example, Django has no problem killing his former masters. The film tries to present the African male image positively by showing that the stereotype of submission was not actually followed by the main character Django. However, upon further analysis of the film, it becomes apparent that Django, which was the film's attempt to portray a positive African male, was in fact the exception to every other black character role played in the film. The other African characters in the film were in fact described as extremely submissive and loyal individuals. In one scene, a servant named Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson), who was Master Candie's slave, demonstrates the stereotype of subservience imposed on Africans. Towards the end of the film, when Mr. Candie is shot and killed, Stephen is the first to immediately react by crying over his master's body and his death. The fact that Stephen, who demonstrates the stereotype of loyalty and subservience, was so loyal to his master that he disrespected and mistreated him throughout his life really goes against the positive image portrayed by Django. Additionally, throughout the film all the African characters other than Django are shown as super submissive towards their masters. Many scenes showed Mr. Candie's slaves fulfilling all his requests. Overall, the film's attempt to show Django as a positive protagonist because he breaks the stereotypes placed on Africans in the film fails because all the black characters surrounding Django were really compliant and loyal, and that Django was an exception to all these other Africans in the
