Thus died this great man, worthy of a better fate and a more sublime wit than mine to write his praise. Yet, I hope, the reputation of my pen is considerable enough to make his glorious name

Option Two:
“Thus died this great man, worthy of a better fate and a more sublime wit than mine to write his praise. Yet, I hope, the reputation of my pen is considerable enough to make his glorious name to survive all ages, with that of the brave, the beautiful and constant Imoinda” (Behn, Oroonoko, 76-77).
At the end of Oroonoko, the narrator claims: “Yet, I hoped the reputation of my pen is considerable enough to make his glorious name to survive all ages…” In this passage, the narrator (often considered Behn herself) suggests that one of the purposes of the story is to glorify and value Oroonoko. Do you agree with the narrator’s assessment of the story’s purpose? Do you think that Behn, has reached that purpose? Why or why not? You must consider (and cite) all of the following materials in your essay:
Behn, Aphra. Oroonoko.
Lipking, Joanna. “The New World of Slavery: An Introduction.”
