Description: When Prince Oroonokoas passion for the virtuous Imoinda arouses the jealousy of his grandfather, the lovers are cast into slavery and transported from Africa to the colony of Surinam. Oroonokoas noble bearing soon wins the respect of his English captors, but his struggle for freedom brings about his destruction. Inspired by Aphra Behnas visit to Surinam, "Oroonoko" reflects the authoras romantic views of native peoples as being in athe first state of innocence, before man knew how to sin.a The novel also reveals Behnas ambiguous attitude toward slavery: while she favored it as a means to strengthen Englandas power, her powerful and moving work conveys its injustice and brutality.
