  • Dominance and Companionship: Animals in Behn and Defoe

    Sigma Tau Delta Review

    "Although similarities between animal and human interactions remain in both Oroonoko and Robinson Crusoe in the form of an intense desire to maintain ordered separation between so-called lower order animals and higher order humans, differences in how said groups interact show stark contrast as well. Oroonoko asserts violent power over animals in an attempt to prove his masculinity to onlookers and reassure his status as a forceful, dominant being whereas Crusoe, on many occasions, labels animals as his companions and “family” rather than asserting patriarchal, violent domination over them. Thus, we see a transition from violent domination over animals as means to assert masculinity and control in Oroonoko to the compassionate caretaking of animal well being stemming from a feeling of kinship with non-human species in Robinson Crusoe."
