Paule Barton's 'Emilie Plead Choose One Egg'
This 6 page paper argues that the short story 'Emilie Plead Choose One Egg' by Haitian writer Paulé Bart-n, offers both a diagnosis and a cure for the ills of Caribbean culture. The story, in featuring a strong-willed woman and an ineffective, irresolute man, reveals the effects of colonialism on the Caribbean psyche, and offers a cure in the form of a call for personal empowerment, particularly among men. No additional sources listed.
