“This perception is made difficult by the submerged consciousness of the oppressed. The state of oppression absorbs those within it, preventing them from perceiving the reality of oppression objectively. Submerged in the oppressive reality, they adapt to their exploitation, behaving according to the guidelines the oppressor prescribes for them. They are unable to “clearly perceive the ‘order’ which serves the interests of the oppressors whose image they have internalized” (62). As a result of “internalizing” the oppressor, they also, at a certain stage, identify with him. The oppressed are often attracted to the lifestyle of the oppressor and aspire to share it, further exacerbating their dual consciousness.”
