Summary: "Inkle and Yarico: An opera, in three acts" by George Colman is a theatrical work written in the early 19th century. This opera intertwines themes of love, loyalty, and moral quandaries, centering around the characters Inkle, a young merchant, and Yarico, a native woman who saves him in a time of peril. Set against the backdrop of colonial America and Barbados, it engages with the complexities of cultural differences and the human condition in relation to slavery and exploitation. The opening of "Inkle and Yarico" introduces us to the characters as they navigate the treacherous American wilderness. Inkle is depicted as a calculating young trader, focused on profit even in the face of danger, while his servant Trudge expresses his fears regarding the unknowns of their adventure. Upon encountering Yarico, who awakens in a cave, Inkle is captivated by her beauty and strength, which sets the stage for their evolving relationship. Despite the pressure of his predetermined engagement to Narcissa, the daughter of a governor, Inkle is torn between his obligations and the genuine affection he feels for Yarico.
