Although this quote also complements Orinoco's wife, the most important phrase is: "that, if she were capable of loving, one would swear that she was pining for a happy absent man… as if she feared rape even at the hands of the God of the day” (Oroonoko 2337). In other words, this quote has several complications, including religious hypocrisy (and keep in mind that these two quotes are in the following order). First of all, the settlers said: "but she refused us all with such noble disdain...she who can give such eternal desires", that is, Imoinda rejected the love of the settlers , and after being denied, they mentioned, that "if she were capable of love, one would swear that she was pining for a happy and absent man... as if she feared rape even at the hands of the God of the day" ( Oroonoko 2337). The complication comes from the settlers' side, that is, after being refused something, they automatically blame the person who rejected them. In other words, Imoinda can give such “enteral desires,” but is apparently not “capable of loving”; Behn is specifically referring to the consciousness of a settler in the New World, that is, to the way in which settlers think and act according to their ideas.
