In the paper Fact and Fiction in Aphra Behn’s Oroonoko (2017), Katharine M。 Rogers emphasizes Oroonoko’s identity as a black man。 His race denies him the freedom to which his class and personal worth entitle him。 And Oroonoko’s speech to his fellow slaves directly asserts that it is beneath human dignity to submit to slavery at all。 Expectably, this novel arouses powerful anti-slavery feeling in eighteenth century audiences。 And humanity beyond slavery is widely accepted and pursued。 

As above illustration shows, Behn tells most of her stories through a narrator who is female, together with the female protagonist, to convey the actual position of woman in that history period。 Their inferior position is similar to slaves, who lost their dignity as well as human freedom。 In this case, feminism and humanity is combined by Aphra Behn in the novel Oroonoko。
