The main character, the young Chinese prince, is a sympathetic figure who struggles to find his place in the world after being forced to leave his home. He falls in love with a young woman who is also an orphan and together they try to build a new life for themselves.The African prince, Oroonoka, is a tragic figure who is sold into slavery and forced to endure terrible hardships. He eventually becomes a rebel leader and fights against the slave trade, but is ultimately betrayed and dies a tragic death.Murphy's play is a powerful exploration of the human experience and the struggles that people face when they are forced to leave their homes and start anew.
