Produktbeschreibung

Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 2,0, http://www.uni-jena.de/ (Institut für Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: Introduction to English/American Literary Studies II, language: English, abstract: Jean Rhys short-story "Pioneers, Oh, Pioneers" takes place on the Caribbean island Dominica at a time, when it was still a British colony. It is a story about aman called Mr. Ramage who buys a house on this island, marries a native girl and starts to behave so unconventional that the other people in the city become askant, spread rumours about them and pursue him. Under that pressure he probably commits suicide. Though the last-mentioned aspect is not said exactly it is most likely. The setting of the story is influenced by both, the environment and representatives of British colonialism and the nature and the wilderness of the Caribbean island itself. Rhys probably chose this exotic setting for two reasons: the accentuation of the unnaturalness and the declining power of British colonialism and for the reprocessing of her own childhood memories
