Abstract
Among the many characters of Omeros, the poem in Dantesque third-rhyme written by Derek Walcott in 1990, the character of Catherine Weldon can be encountered. Through her words, a particular conception of Time and History is presented, and the Native American genocide is recalled. In this paper, one extract from Omeros will be subjected to stylistic analysis in order to clarify this conception and its link with the massacre of the natives’ at Wounded Knee Creek.
