She attempts to portray her protagonist as the one who believes in social hierarchy what defines a gentleman from the narrator’s viewpoint. ![]() As a Tory proponent of her time, she defends the colonization and tries her best not to stand against. Aphra Behn, the author, intends to impose her monolithic view on the readers. Additionally, his relationship with the slave society lets their different beliefs and ideas be revealed to the reader despite the author’s will. The subtitle of the story, The Royal Slave, can be implied as referring to this paradox. This degradation, beside other elements of Bakhtinian carnivalesque, makes his language a unique one, belonging neither to aristocrats anymore nor to the slaves, but simultaneously representing both.
