Dependency

different cultures offer the potential to breed negative outcomes. When discussing these negative outcomes, stereotypes would be a prime example because a lack of effort in understanding another culture can produce conventional images. Considering this, Drew Hayden Taylor explores the stereotypes directed against native women in his play “Dead White Writer on the Floor”. In Taylor’s play, Pocahontas’ unique construction as a consistently stereotyped character offers a criticism of how stereotypes labeling native women as dependent alter the situation they cannot save themselves from but, endure over time.

This criticism stems from the fact that, despite her transition through many years, stereotypical…
