This is clear because of the sword that Judith is holding near his neck and the blood that is painted

The interesting part is the authors both got self- educated by reading books while they were in tough situations because of racism.

After reading “A defense of Abortion” by Judith Jarvis Thomson and what he had to say with his violinist analogy involving the kidney replacement.
