Problem
Read the following excerpt from Oroonoko by Aphra Behn and answer the following questions:
The Prince having drunk hard of punch, and several sorts of wine, as did all the rest (for great care was taken, they should want nothing of that part of the entertainment) was very merry, and in great admiration of the ship, for he had never been in one before, so that he was curious of beholding every place, where he decently might descend. The rest, no less curious, who were not quite overcome with drinking, rambled at their pleasure fore and aft, as their fancies guided them...
1. Who is "the Prince"?
2. Under what circumstances are the Prince and his companions on the ship?
3. What is the very next thing that happens in the narrative?
