Are there social issues mentioned directly or indirectly in the literary piece(the indian princess)?can you give one

Sagot :

Answer:

A social issue indirectly portrayed is the forced "domestication" of Native Americans to fulfill the goals of English settlers.

Explanation:

"The India Princess" tells the story of Pocahontas. However, this play approaches the story of Pocahontas in a romanticized way, hiding the violence that she went through during the "domestication" process where she was forced to abandon her culture, religion, language and customs, to adopt what was taught by settlers. Although this violence is not addressed directly during the play, we can interpret that this is a social issue shown indirectly in play, pointing out the English hypocrisy in hiding its racist positions in relation to the natives.
