Rogues Yardfowl - Challenging the status quo
" Rogues in Paradise" presents readers to the remarkable character of Yardfowl, who stands as a main antagonist. Influenced by many Bajans, Yardfowl challenges colonial predispositions and includes a layer of depth to the narrative.
Unlike colonials who may discuss slavery with regret, survivors like Yardfowl express emotions formed by serious physical, psychological, and mental abuse. Despite this, they do not harbor hatred, showcasing resilience and wisdom. Yardfowl, educated in English schools, chooses to speak in Bajan slang, using his unique voice to contest the status quo. This linguistic choice highlights his defiance and deep connection to his roots, making him a compelling figure in the story.
