A. 簡介 John White (c. 1540 – c. 1593) was an English artist and a colonizer, who was a pioneer and an early settler to Roanoke, which mission proves a failure. The mismanagement of colony and the unpredictable happenings unveil colonial anxieties that result from military outpost competition, the stress on imperial identity and absurd profitable ventures. Disorder and mismanagement of the environment caused disparity between enthusiasm and depression, especially in the winter scene. In the last scenes, among this first group of the colonists are children singing Christmas carol in cold simple house, women feeding the sick with little food, and starving ones about to surrender to their enemies. When John Borden, Eleanor Dare, her baby and other fellow villagers stepped into the woods to look for another shelter, Green left hope for his audience to meditate on the missing migrants and the construction of an empire.
