Welcome, to a discussion of Aphra Behn's Oroonoko. Quick disclaimer, there is mention of violence against women and graphic violence in general so viewer discretion is advised. Within this episode, we explore the intricacies of race and honor in this now famous narrative of slavery and love. Enjoy!

Just in case you're curious about the edition we are reading from or want to read along, here is the citation!

Behn, Aphra. Oronooko. Penguin Classics, 2003.

A big shoutout to Jonny Boyle, the creator of our music, "Bright Life."
