I found the topic to be considered taboo and surprised by the lack of knowledge many people had of the subject.

The aim of this study is to examine Kant's concepts of the noumenal world and the phenomenal world, and Todorov's scales, as well as colonialism, slavery and being other. For Oroonoko, readers can decide the scales only if they are willing to understand Todorov's aims.

On the other hand, Tzvetan Todorov's perspectives on stories and novels are different, and he puts them in scales such as fantastic, uncanny and marvelous.

Oroonoko displays literary fiction and reality at the same time thus, Immanuel Kant's concepts of the noumenal world and. This study aims to analyze Aphra Behn Oroonoko with respect to post-colonialism, in particular, investigation of the extent colonialism, slavery, and being other. Postcolonial theory looks at history, and it links to culture, sociology, psychology, and even politics and law. This study mainly draws upon the concepts of othering and representation from postcolonial critical theory, and shows with the help of textual examples that Oroonoko projects colonial agenda more than any other thing, and just as a coloinial text, its discourse and narrative strategy provide the writer with absolute opportunity to further colonial agenda. In this paper, we argue that Aphra Behn's Oroonoko is a colonial text that has frequent instances of othering and misrepresentation conducted owing to the writer's Eurocentrism and her use of colonial discourse and narrative strategy. The author's claim that it is a true history of the royal slave written impartially is fallacious as Behn adheres to the colonial ideology and maintains her cultural, racial and biological superiority. It is centered around the love if its hero, an enslaved African prince in Surinam, and the author's own experiences in the new South American colony, which was under the rule of England at that time. Aphra Behn's Oroonoko, or The Royal Slave: A True History, is late seventeenth century fictional work, considered to be one of the earliest English novels.
