Justice For The Unjust

Justice for the Unjust         Catharine Maria Sedgwick wrote Hope Leslie with the view of the Indians in mind. She a handle included the disadvantage against them. This is clearly expressed in the character of jennet. jenny ass should have walked in a nonhers moccasins but she did not and ultimately paid the price of death, which was justice for her unjust give-and- pass on of the Indians.

In the get downning of the novel when Magawisca arrived to the Fletchers home the first translation do by jenny ass, who is just a serving adult female was That you should be mightily thankful, Tawney, that you are snatched as a put up from the burning (pg 24). This immediately made me feel that Jennet was prejudice because of the racist term Tawney referring to the color of Magawiscas skin color. Everell immediately came to Magawiscas defense lawyers by saying, Hush, Jennet! Then he stuck Jennet with the get of an arrow which he had in his hand (pg 24). Even though Jennet was a loyal servant to the Fletchers she always made some type of loathsome comment. For instance when Mr. Fletcher asked Jennet to take Magawisca to another apartment she obeyed but muttering as she went, a notable providence this concerning the Pequod caitiff. Even like Adonibezek, as he has d nonpareil to other the Lord hath requited him (pg 26).         It seemed throughout the novel that Jennet was always trying to stir up trouble. She caused many problems for Nelema. When Magawisca was lecture to Mrs. Fletcher about Nelema speech, Jennet said, It is a shame and a sin. She also went on to say, A crying shame, for this heathen hag to be pouring forth here as if she were gifted like the prophets of old; she that can save see into the future by reading the devils book and if that be the case, as more than one has mistrusted, it were best, forthwith, to de belongr her to the judges and cast her into prison (pg 38). Jennet alleges that Magawisca and Nelema are practicing witchcraft in the moonlight. This is initially ignored by Mrs. Fletcher and Everell. hitherto later in the novel when the Fletcher family is sitting on the porch, Everell says to Magawisca, why are you so no-account? Your voice is too sainted for a bird of ill-omen. I shall begin to think as Jennet says ? though Jennet is not text-book for me ? I shall begin to think old Nelema has really bewitched you (pg 62). Magawisca is feeling dismal because she knows that the Fletcher family is in danger. What follows in the novel is a horrific lashing to Mrs. Fletcher and her children; fortunately, Everell and Faith are spared.



Jennet also survived by finding a hiding spot in the house and was form covered in soot. When Jennet was questioned about what happened she was only have-to doe with with her self-preservation and not that of the dead or missing (pg 68).

cut through Cradock was bitten by a snake and Hope is prepared to suck the venom out of his wound but he would not countenance this. Hope then remembers that Nelema had an antidote for a rattlesnake bite. Jennet had a problem with going to Nelema she said, The old heathen witch. It were better, to die, than to live by the devils help (pg 103). Hope disagreed with her and went into Nelema hut while Master Cradock was being cured. Jennet goes to the township elders and accuses Nelema of witchcraft. Nelema was tried before the town magistrates and sentenced to death. Luckily, Hope Leslie helped Nelema escape to save her sister Faith (Mary).

Jennet finally trustworthy her just reward when the Chaddock vessel exploded. She was the only actual sufferer, was the only one neither missed nor inquired for (pg 338). This goes to shows that goes slightly comes around. In Jennets case, she treated the Indian race unjustly and received the ultimate justice of death.
