Overview
[...]as this story and many others seem to imply, the supernatural is revealed as animal trickery, and clear distinctions between the species are preserved. Animals in oral and written literature have long served as objectified others on which to project the fears and desires of the human self, much as racial others have functioned in imperialist narratives.5 In contrast to the interracial power play that characterizes imperial and postcolonial literature, however, the relationships between humans and animals in folktales cannot address a combined audience of colonizer and colonized. Because they cannot write or talk back, animals enact the role of the other in a more extreme fashion than the colonized.
