Foe by J.M. Coetzee is narrated by Susan Barton, the only female character who is cast away on the same island as Robinson Crusoe and Friday. Susan struggles for independence and power in a society that views her as irrational and less valuable due to her gender. Throughout the novel, Susan describes the island as "Cruso's island" and sees herself as a subordinate to the male characters. Susan is an unreliable narrator, and the novel examines her shifting perspectives and desire for freedom within the constraints of her society.

About Foe :
● Foe is a 1986 novel by South African-born
Nobel laureate J. M. Coetzee.
● Woven around the existing plot of Robinson
Crusoe, Foe is written from the perspective
of Susan Barton, a castaway who landed on
the same island inhabited by "Cruso" and
Friday as their adventures were already
underway.
● Like Robinson Crusoe, it is a frame story,
unfolded as Barton's narrative while in
England attempting to convince the writer
Daniel Foe to help transform her tale into
popular fiction.

About J. M. Coetzee:
● J.M. Coetzee, in full John Maxwell
Coetzee.
● He is born on February 9, 1940 in
Cape Town, South Africa.
● He is South African novelist,
critic, and translator noted for his
novels about the effects of
colonization.
● In 2003 he won the Nobel Prize
for Literature.

About Susan Barton
J.M. Coetzee introduces us to the
dynamic character of Susan Barton.
Susan Barton’s growing sense of
independence and willpower is one
unprecedented at the time, and adds
a new perspective to the story of
Robinson Crusoe.

Susan Barton : The Women on
Cruso’s Island

Susan Barton : The Women on “Cruso’s Island
Katie Debuck says,
● Throughout the novel, even long after Cruso’s death,
she describes the island as “Cruso’s island.” She
finds herself as the mere female companion to the
king and his manservant, Friday.
● Barton rationalizes Cruso’s role of king as she sees
him “on the Bluff, with the sun behind him all red
and purple, staring out to see…I thought: He is a truly
kingly figure; he is the true king of the island”

Continue….
● Barton’s role as a submissive supporting character to
Cruso displays Coetzee’s formulation of Susan as a
man’s woman.
● Susan is a sensual woman, and as the only female
character in both Defoe’s novel as well as Coetzee’s
novel, she is represented through her sexuality.

● Susan Barton is a man’s woman whose story is
told through the words of a male author both
from outside the text and inside the text.
● She is created by one man, J.M. Coetzee, as a
woman of confusion and subtlety.
● Foe is not a story about her life, but seems to
be a device to describe her male counterparts
instead.

Susan Barton as
Unreliable Narrator
Jason Pric written,
Coetzee’s Foe: Susan Barton's (Un) Reliable Narration and
her Revelation through Misreading,
“ There is not need for us to know what freedom
means Suasan. Freedom is a word like any word… It is
but the name we give to the desire you speak of, the
desire to be free what concern us is the desire, not the
name” (Coetzee, Foe 149).

Susan, Gender and Rationality :
● Susan Barton, the female protagonist , is rational
and struggles for power and independence in the
society of the Enlightenment where the story is set.
● She is seen as non-rational, less valuable and as
Other of the white, European male due to her
gender.

Narrative art as a colonizing process an analysis of the meta fiGoswami Mahirpari

��

This summary analyzes a scholarly article that examines J.M. Coetzee's novel Foe. The article argues that Coetzee uses meta-fictional elements in Foe to portray narrative writing as a colonizing act. It also argues that the internal narrative depicts colonization as constructing identities for colonized others. Specifically: 1) Coetzee shows that narrative writing colonizes subjects by objectifying and defining their identities according to the writer's perspectives and desires. 2) All human relationships take on a colonial dynamic because they are based on stories that colonize others. 3) For a person to have substance and be known, their history must be constructed through a narrative told from a colonial

The document discusses the character of Friday from Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe. It describes how Friday was named by Crusoe after he saved him from cannibals. Crusoe then taught Friday his language, religion, and mannerisms. Though Crusoe admires Friday, he sees himself as superior. Friday is portrayed as one of the first individualized and realistic non-white characters in literature. He develops a vibrant personality and loyalty to Crusoe, bringing out Crusoe's emotional side. However, their relationship also represents the colonial dynamic of colonizer and colonized.

Susan Naramore Maher discusses how J.M. Coetzee's novel Foe undermines the authority of Daniel Defoe and Robinson Crusoe through its reimagining of the story. In Foe, Crusoe is depicted as a purposeless and unproductive man who refuses to shape the island or help the story's true creator, Susan Barton. The novel confronts Defoe's ideology of realism by highlighting the constructed nature of stories and questioning the ability of words to recreate experience.

6. Susan Barton : The Women on Cruso’s Island

7. Susan Barton : The Women on “Cruso’s Island Katie Debuck says, ● Throughout the novel, even long after Cruso’s death, she describes the island as “Cruso’s island.” She finds herself as the mere female companion to the king and his manservant, Friday. ● Barton rationalizes Cruso’s role of king as she sees him “on the Bluff, with the sun behind him all red and purple, staring out to see…I thought: He is a truly kingly figure; he is the true king of the island”

8. Continue…. ● Barton’s role as a submissive supporting character to Cruso displays Coetzee’s formulation of Susan as a man’s woman. ● Susan is a sensual woman, and as the only female character in both Defoe’s novel as well as Coetzee’s novel, she is represented through her sexuality.

9. ● Susan Barton is a man’s woman whose story is told through the words of a male author both from outside the text and inside the text. ● She is created by one man, J.M. Coetzee, as a woman of confusion and subtlety. ● Foe is not a story about her life, but seems to be a device to describe her male counterparts instead.

Susan Barton as Unreliable Narrator Jason Pric written, Coetzee’s Foe: Susan Barton's (Un) Reliable Narration and her Revelation through Misreading, “ There is not need for us to know what freedom means Suasan.
