Today we are looking back to kindred and analyzing different characters of the novel. I have to write a blog discussing what Sarah, Alice, and Dana have to endure and sacrifice and also i have to explain which of these characters is the most heroic in my point of view.
Sarah: Weylin took her children away from her and sold them, so she had accept the fact that if she tries to do escape or do anything against the Weylin, they would sell the only child the Sarah had. she does what ever they tell them to do without complaining. She is like a mother to Dana and Alice and advice them, so they don't they get whipped.
Alice: She is forced to sleep with Rufus, to protect her self and her children from being whipped or sold. she loves her children a lot, she wouldn't know what to do without them. after Rufus pretends to sell her children, she gets so anxious and sad that she decides to kill her self, because her life means nothing without her children.
Dana: She is very brave and her propose is show Rufus that slavery is wrong, she is willing to resist whatever it comes to change Rufus mind toward slavery. after being slapped in the face, whipped and work for a lot of hours, she stills resisting. when Rufus tries to rape her, she decides to kill him seeing that he would never change.
In my point of view Sarah is the most heroic woman, because she has to accept her life as an slave, so Weylin doesn't sell the only child that she has left. She is not looking only for herself, but also for other slaves as Alice and Dana. She gives food to Dana, even when she might needed for herself or her daughter.
I chose this picture because this is how i think Sarah Alice and Dana would look like in the antebellum.
