This study discusses the common elements and differences between DerekWalcott’s “The Spoiler’s Return” and Calypso. In an interview with TedThomas, Walcott said that his satire “The Spoiler’s Return” is based on aCalypsoinian. However, he invokes Roman and British satirists’ emotion in thepoem. Needless to say, these interview and invocation of his own show thatthe root of his satirical emotion is in both Calypsonian and Roman soils. Hispoetic theme, first-person narrative, and rhyme are almost the same as those ofthe Trinidad Calypso. His voice echoes on the Caribbeans’ poverty and mocksthe Caribbean elites’ corruption, injustice, racism, and separatism as do that ofthe Calypso singers. His voice comes from the storytelling with which theCalypso singers have used to express their themes and rhythms. His lines arerhymed as those of Calypsoes. Yet his couplet, diction, rhetoric, style, andform are different from those of Calypsoes. While Calypso singers userepetitive phrases or sentences, and choruses to make their lines rhymed, hedoesn’t do that. He rhymes different lines. His diction is more rhetorical thanthat of Calypso. It is based on metaphor, simile, and irony. Finally, hisnarrator is a humble, ugly, unfavorable and isolated attacker while those ofCalypsoes are highly heroic.
