  • Summary

  • In this episode, we look at the Trini fairytale Sweet Misery and discuss the symbol of the monkey in both a mythical and indigenous context while relating it back to the collective unconscious of Trinidad and Tobago.

    We use the symbolism of the monkey to look at the themes of ownership, autonomy and exploitation that are touched upon in this tale, exploring them through both a Trinidadian and a global lens.

    Before concluding the episode with one of our listener’s dreams, we discuss the importance of finding the courage to take fate into our own hands while, paradoxically, submitting to the divine will of the Universe. This episode concludes our journey through the collective unconscious of Trinidad & Tobago.
