The primary action of the narrative is set in the mid-1600's at a time when British colonialism was arguably at its peak, both in terms of amount that was taking place and its destructive qualities. Those qualities are vividly portrayed, perhaps even exemplified, in the destructive treatment and attitudes experienced by Oroonoko and the other slaves in this story.
