 Parks maintains the plays' original plot from "The Hottentot Venus/" "The Hatred of French Women", while repeating a dominant narrative of white, Western-European hierarchy and superiority over non-white, indigenous peoples of Africa.Parks' play-within-a-play parallels with themes in "Venus" in the way fetishization of The Hottentot Venus (and other black women of her time) is a "literal fabric-ation" made by Western-European peoples to help them attain other goals for themselves.In "Venus", the Baron Docteur engages in a love affair with Venus–sweet-talking and feeding her chocolates–until her death allows him to complete her autopsy, and justify his purpose for admiring her.
