Oroonoko Ou O Escravo Real

Considering Behn's own experiences as a woman and a playwright, I wonder how much her perspective shaped the complex characters in Oroonoko.

His dignity and honor are inspiring, but I couldn't help but question if that romanticizes the brutality of slavery and colonization.

The storytelling style adds a layer of immediacy, but I'm curious whether this was a common approach for the time or a deliberate stylistic choice.
