  ABSTRACT: John Maxwell Coetzee was an excellent writer, his first novel Foe, which is the rewriting of Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, earns a lot of acclaim from home and abroad. Coetzee gives the marginal female the role of main character, who tells the whole story. However, Susan still exists as the colonizer to Friday and the relationship between Susan and Friday is self and “the other”. With the help of the post-colonialism theory, through the analysis of Barton’s ambivalent attitude towards Friday, this thesis manages to explore the Susan’s voices and Friday’s silence in Foe.
