This essay concerns the portrayals of creole women in the poems of Charles Baudelaire and how these specific portrayals show connotations to the colonial project and the modernity in which Baudelaire himself lived and worked. By using a hermeneutic method of viewing and reading the poems and essay, written by Charles Baudelaire, through a postcolonial theoretical perspective. By doing this we wish to examine closely the portrayal of creole women in relation to postcolonial theories and its links to modernity as a sociocultural phenomenon. This essay also tries to show how these kinds of literary analyses can in fact be didactically relevant in educational work. In conclusion we can argue that Baudelaire was in fact heavily influenced by the colonial and modern projects of his time.
