Continued Alienation of the Whitened Othellos in Djanet Sears`s Harlem Duet
유가을 ( Yoo Ka-eul ) 한국현대영어영문학회 2016 현대영어영문학 Vol.60 No.3
Casting only African descendants on the Canadian stage, a prominent African Canadian playwright, Djanet Sears vividly reveals the reality and the problems of black people, the black community and their alienation in her play Harlem Duet. By retelling William Shakespeare’s Othello with the 1990s Harlem setting in the U.S., Sears highlights how the black male character, Othello, and his former black girl friend, Billie, internalize racist views of blackness, which consequently leads them to self-alienation. In particular, by suggesting the past presences of the black duets in three anti-linear time settings - 1860, 1928, and present - Sears signifies alienation of black people has remained a longstanding issue. By concentrating on the issues of race and gender in Djanet Sears’s Harlem Duet, especially on black male characters’ stances, this paper focuses on how the ongoing problem in alienation of black people is examined in this play.
