This paper aims to explain the dynamics behind the whitening of Imoinda in Thomas Southerne’s Oroonoko. We could argue that a particular mindset which involved the whitening of Imoinda can be detected by observing the theatricality of the play. The text of Oroonoko aims to visualize the inner passions of players through their motions, based on the acting theory of that time. Those passions were the key factor in bringing the audience and the players together. Through the interaction among the theatre company and the theatregoers, a white female body was required to share a ‘universal’ passion.
