Three of the works that we have read have been Gulliver’s Travels‚ Candide‚ and The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano. The three have been widely different in their approach‚ but they all come back to the theme of a corrupt‚ evil‚ narrow-minded society that the main character believes should be fixed.

treated horribly‚ however most writing from this time period does not reflect this because the slave owners were doing the writing. One piece that did acknowledge the suffering of slaves was written by Olaudah Equiano‚ who recounts horrors from his past as a slave in his book‚ “The Life of Olaudah Equiano”. Equiano seeks to remind readers of slaves’ humanity by showcasing the hypocrisy of the dehumanizing treatment of the slaves and by placing an emphasis on families. The degrading treatment of the

Two of the many selections that I have appointed were Olaudah Equiano‚ and Plymouth Plantation. The writers’ interest of oppression for Olaudah Equiano would simply have to be because they were slaves. The writer described how the voyage that they were forced upon was‚ and how their living quarters were. They also described in harsh detail what it meant to be galled from being harshly beaten with whips‚ chains‚ etc.”The shrieks of women‚ and the groans of the dying‚ rendered the whole a scene of

Death vs Slavery In the first five chapters of The Interesting Narrative by Olaudah Equiano‚ there is a pattern of a preference of death over life.
