Özet: So as to accomplish the objectives of moral judgement and social commentary pursued in her play as well as to deliver a complete picture of African American woman oppression. Suzan Lori Parks evaluates and describes various aspects of her protagonist ‘Hester’ as well as other characters’ qualifications: moral traits, intellectual qualities, and social attitudes in her play “In the Blood” (1999). The playwright aims to construct a society of shared ethics and participated in values with her audiences/readers. Parks perfectly adopts different opinions and points of view as sources of evaluation. This paper proposes an analysis of the whole corpus of “In the Blood” and particularly focusing on the theme of ‘woman oppression’, to construe the major female character, Hester as well as the most important characters who impact to form her disturbing identity. This paper aims to figure out the reason behind audiences’/readers’ compliment and applaud with that play in general and the theme of oppression in specific. That can be achieved by addressing the dialogic dimension with a big focus on the propositions of Engagement, the category of Appraisal Framework by which the characters in the play express their commitments and willingness to open up and welcome the negotiation space to other opinions and voices. This paper has concluded that the heteroglossic propositions have exceeded the monoglossic resources in order to engage the characters and positions themselves in relation to other viewpoints and opinions from the audiences/readers which helps to convey the playwright’s moral message skillfully and effectively.
