Subject: yes, that's true and especially if they had been bought by horrible people, but while living during the time of slaver, Phaedre's life was comparably "good." But the fact that Ulysses, a slave himself, would sell her-to protect his white mistress and self when she hadn't done anything wrong (in my eyes) well, that burns me up. She's suffering for Jo's safetly here.
In reply to: Carol P 's message, "You make a good point about Jocasta's strength. Claire also ruminates on this characteristic after hearing the story of the Cameron's flight after Culloden and rather admires Jo for that strength. As for Phaedre not being ill treated, she was kept as an uneducated slave. I fear my sympathies lie more with the maroons described by Dr. Stern, something to the effect that there are always men who would rather live as animals than live in slavery." on 11:46:49 02/24/09 Tue
