%X this paper is an analysis of £¿ruins of a great house£¿ and £¿verandah£¿, two poems written by caribbean poet derek walcott. its aim is to observe how the poet manages to produce a concept of identity of the caribbean i in contrast to the others. to achieve this, the texts will be deconstructed, following jonathan culler (2000) and barbara johnson (1980), and then a dialectic of conciliation will follow. the dialogue between the binary oppositions present in the poems eventually reveals a middle point at which the i and the others become a we. the texts chosen for the analysis are themselves a deconstruction exercise applied by walcott to his own identity. finally, in order to reinscribe all three persons in the historical becoming of the caribbean we, the conclusion includes a brief comparison between the reconciling caribbean person proposed by walcott in his poems and the images of both the white colonizer and the black slave present in poems by saint-john perse and aim¨¦ c¨¦saire, respectively.
