The desire to protect children from colonial influence no doubt stems from a mistrust of colonial education since convention holds that it is the mother’s responsibility to educate her An Absent Presence: Adolescence and the Inadequate Female Role Model in Myriam Warner-Vieyra’s Le Quimboiseur l’avait dit… 21 children (Storper-Perez 74) and colonial education usurps this right. , this prevailing image of women depicted in literature is contradicted by Rosemonde who, rather than filling the role of protector in Zétou’s life, exposes her daughter to a cruel and dangerous world in which she faces situations that lead her to the point of madness.

Après un minimum de trois mois d’observations et de traitements plus ou moins adaptés, on pouvait selon le degré de sa maladie, ou la progression de son mal, retourner vivre avec sa famille, aller dans une école spécialisé, un hôpital psychiatrique et au pire, pour les cas pathologiquement irrécupérables, dans un asile.

WarnerVieyra, Quimboiseur 84- 85) I greedily gobbled up the mixed hors d’oeuvres, not realising that there would be more courses to follow, taking no notice of Mother or Roger. When I had wiped my plate clean I looked up, my hunger satisfied. ” (Warner-Vieyra , Blair, As the Sorcerer Said 43) Rosemonde’s response to her daughter is disturbing. ” The feigned concern that Rosemonde manifests, however, is symptomatic of the lack of love she displays toward her daughter. Such behavior only reinforces feelings of worthlessness in Zétou.
