“SYCORAX ON STAGE”:THE UNVOICED SHAKESPEAREAN FEMALE OTHER FINALLY SPEAKS IN SUNITI NAMJOSHI’S POETRY

Summary/Abstract: The witch has always been the representation of an unspeakable absence. Sycorax embodies all silenced African women, experiencing double patriarchy (a term used by Omofolabo Ajayi-Soyinka). Associated with the margins, she represented the barbarian Other to European culture. Sycorax decolonizes the male-dominated world of Prospero: from absence, she is turned into presence, as she constructs her subjective narrative.
