Max Havelaar is an idealistic yet naive Dutch colonial official in 19th century Indonesia who truly believes that he is going to civilize and improve the lives of the people under his administration. Unfortunately, he is not in touch with the needs of the local people. Those directly oppressing the people are not so much the Dutch colonial officials as the venal and corrupt native rulers. At first, he is led to believe that his reformist ideas have the sanction of his superiors, but he runs into a stone wall and eventual abandonment and dismissal when he begins to threaten the vested interests of both the colonialists and the local sultan, who he eventually realizes are in cahoots with each other. His actions bring about a rebellion, for which he is blamed, that results in even worse repression, and causes the breakup of his family and ostracism from his own society.

Without positive reinforcement for his efforts, he ends up as an outcast reviled by both the oppressors he hoped to oust and the people he tried to liberate.
