The Question of Identity of Olaudah Equiano in “The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano” (1789)
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing “The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano or Gustavus Vassa the African” and the inconsistent details within the narrative which make the reader question the identity of the author. “The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano or Gustavus Vassa the African” was written in English in 1789 and tells of Equiano’s life as a slave. Originally born in Benen, he was enslaved and suffered terribly but later managed to acquire enough learning and independence to become a major influence in advocating the end of the slave trade in Europe with the popularity of his narrative. Within the narrative however, there are several aspects and inconsistencies which bring into question the identity of its author. The narrative is extremely well narrated and written which leads to the authenticity of its narrator in regards to his educational background. The narrative also changes a great deal throughout in regards to formality of speech, first-person third-person shifts and his surprising reactions to others slaves in addition to be occasionally afforded liberty in his movements despite being a slave. Another possibility in regards to the narrative would be that while Equiano may have narrated it, it was written and published in England by someone who may have had a hand in its extensive editing to make it more acceptable within the English publishing market.

The Role of African Women in the Thirties
[ send me this essay ]
(5 pp) There are times when we are hearing a story, or an event told by a friend, and we almost automatically say, I can't imagine that. Perhaps that is even why some of us have such a great enjoyment of reading, in that it expands our sense of imagination. We can imagine more as we experience the stories of others. It has been said that the best way to learn of history is not from the facts in a book, but rather from the stories or memories of someone who was in the experience. Such is the case of her 1942 memoir, West with the Night by Beryl Markham. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
