mes of Caesar and plantations. This may suggest that this is an important person and an important place. The only historical events that I can think of would be Jesus or Napoleon. Both of these two figures, not relating to eachother, made such a bold statement for their day. That is why we still talk about them today. If Oroonoko did not die in such a bold manner, who knows if we would be studying him to this day. All of the above men were willing to die for what they believed in their hearts and that?s all. I love the fact that Oroonoko keeps his pipe in his mouth until he can no longer stand up. That is such a bold statement to make. It seems like he is even mocking them because he keeps smoking. It reminds me of the bold death of William Wallace when he was fighting for Scotland....
