Black Dido was a little girl adopted by the British Prime Minister. Her mother drowned in a shipwreck in a case. The reason for her drowning was that the slaves were intensively transported and could not be sold for the price. She received insurance compensation for economic benefits. Black slaves After being drowned by the owner of the ship, the slave was treated like a cargo. When Dido grew up, her biological father left her with a large inheritance. She was free to choose whom she would marry. Unlike her cousin Elizabeth, who had no inheritance rights, women and slaves had no equality and freedom. Dido met David Neil, the pastor who liked her, a man who saw the equality of blacks. I also came across the proposal of Oliver, a rich boy who was in love with her property. In getting along, Dido slowly fell in love with David Neal, who knew her better. They were all concerned about the verdict of the Chief Justice of England and Dido's adoptive father on the drowning case.

In love, respect and understanding are more important than love. I love you, I love everything about you, and who I am when I love you.

At that time, wealth and status were the mainstream criteria for people of class to choose marriage.

The protagonist is lucky and has the right to inherit property, so there is no need to worry about becoming a slave. The judge is also great, loyal to his beliefs, daring to reject all opinions, condemning slavery, and finally admitting David Neal as a member of the court. The justice is also a father.

Belle quotes

  • Elizabeth Murray: Aren't you quietly relieved that you shan't be at the caprice of some silly sir and his fortune? The rest of us haven't a choice - not a chance of inheritance if we have brothers, and forbidden from any activity that allows us to support ourselves. We are but their property.

  • John Davinier: 'Tis pitiful. Such inability to simply know what value to put on another's life.

    Dido Elizabeth Belle: What price a worthless negro?

    John Davinier: You utterly misunderstand me. I am saying that no man may have the value of cargo. Human beings cannot be priced since we are priceless - free men and slaves alike. I am with others here. All students in law, applying pressure on the insurance companies to refuse from hereon to insure slaves on any ship.

    Dido Elizabeth Belle: But that would require a change in law.

    John Davinier: How can we expect to be civilized when we live in such a barbaric world? It is the utter injustice.

    Dido Elizabeth Belle: It is more than that. It is the shame of a law that would uphold a financial transaction upon that atrocity.
