Breaking of Family Bonds

[taleh_...@yahoo.com]

As we know, there are so many works in literature, in which
slavery was described, for ins; "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn",
or "Heart of Darkness" etc, But this one is quite different, that is
to say while reading the story we can imagine it with reality, or we
can see the effect of slavery on the other part of life, such as
family bonds, The most surprising thing is Linda's proud, though she's
undergone to many tortures, but she never accept it, and she never
really accepts the fact that she is the property of another person,
she never loses her self-respect or her desire to have a normal home
and family.
And the other interesting episode that draw my attention; When
Linda's father and slave master Dr Flint call her at the same time,
she chooses the second one-which proves the destortion of family
bonds.
