Oroonoko is a tale of a royal slave/prisoner who falls in love, incites prison revolts and goes on several wild adventures. One moral of this story is that love is painful and ugly but the thing people desire most. This video is great because it perfectly depicts that idea.
The illustrations give this video a unique personal feel, almost a feeling of everyone is human and nothing and no one is perfect but, everyone has a passion.
Furthermore, the story portrays this idea that Oronooko gets his love stolen from him and goes through a profound amount of suffering because of his attempts to reacquire that love. For example, he becomes a slave, breaks into the Otan and is betrayed by his own grandfather.
