This article attempts the application of Edward Said's views in Orientalism (2003) to John Denham’s The Sophy.Theresearchers have applied only the relevant and some of the key a.ssumptions of Said to this play. Our main contention is that Denham has misrepresented the Oriental characters like the Persians and Turks in the playas the inajority of the characters have been portrayed as cultural stereotypes. The playwright has misrepresented the Oriental characters under the itifiuence of the dominant ideology of the early modern period which was to demonize the cultural others. The research findings confirm the contention that misrepresentation of the Oriental characters in the play rejects Denham’s Eurocentric perspectives which is Said's main stance in his work Orientalism.
