Woman instrumented in the name of "love"

The plantation owner Abis's whip hit Passy's body with blood and blood. It is hard to imagine that this is a man's way of treating the so-called woman who cares the most. The method is pungent and vicious.

Paisy was beaten up

Paisy was Abis' slave girl and his private property. The important reason Paisy got his heart was nothing more than the ability to keep more than 500 pounds of cotton picking every day. Based on the high labor value Paisy created, he also became his most "loved" slave girl. Therefore, this "love" has both identity and physical possession. He can dispose of Pasie's body as he wants, including sex. Violation and whipping.

Paisy was sexually assaulted

Abis was a pathological possession of Passy. This deformed feeling is not love at all. In addition to reflecting the exploitation and oppression of black slaves by white plantation owners in the United States at the time, it also alluded to the survival status of women in the United States and the world at that time— -Being objectified as a sexual tool, or just a vagina or uterus that satisfies male physiological and reproductive desires.

The status of women has indeed improved with the development of society, but it has not increased to the point where a woman’s fertility can be measured without regard to her fertility. The most common one is the age anxiety imposed on women by the patriarchal society and culture. "I can't marry anymore", "I'll be an advanced mother after 30 years of age", "I can't marry a hen who can't lay eggs" and so on. We are used to saying that women are only judged from the value of fertility. At least for the moment, we have not got rid of this social culture that is instrumental to women at all.

Finally, I suddenly returned to the topic of love and ended this article.

Abis may have feelings for Pasie, but because of the dual effects of his historical environment and his own character, he thinks it is shameful to have a relationship with Pasie who is a slave. When he finally reached the climax to ejaculate, he slapped Passy.

To borrow the words Jane said to Mr. Rochester: "If I and you stand before God now, our souls are equal." True love only occurs between two absolutely equal souls, and it comes from the heart. Treat each other as individuals.

Finally, I wish everyone a lover with equal souls and mutual compassion.

12 Years a Slave quotes

  • Edwin Epps: If something rubs you wrongly, I offer you the opportunity to speak on it.

    Bass: [exhales] Well, you ask plainly, so I will tell you plainly. What amused me just then was your concern for my wellbeing in this heat when, quite frankly, the condition of your laborers...

    Edwin Epps: The condition of my laborers?

    Bass: It is horrid.

    Edwin Epps: The hell?

    [chuckles]

    Bass: It's all wrong. All wrong, Mr. Epps.

    Edwin Epps: They ain't hired help. They're my property.

    Bass: You say that with pride.

    Edwin Epps: I say it as fact.

    Bass: If this conversation concerns what is factual and what is not, then it must be said that there is no justice nor righteousness in their slavery. But you do open up an interesting question. What right have you to your niggers, when you come down to the point?

    Edwin Epps: What right?

    Bass: Mmm

    Edwin Epps: I bought 'em. I paid for 'em.

    Bass: Well, of course you did, and the law says you have the right to hold a nigger. But begging the law's pardon, it lies. Suppose they pass a law taking away your liberty, making you a slave. Suppose.

    Edwin Epps: That ain't a supposable case.

    Bass: Laws change, Epps. Universal truths are constant. It is a fact, a plain and simple fact, that what is true and right is true and right for all. White and black alike.

    Edwin Epps: You comparing me to a nigger, Bass?

    Bass: I'm only asking, in the eyes of God, what is the difference?

    Edwin Epps: You might as well ask what the difference is between a white man and a baboon.

    [chuckles]

    Edwin Epps: I seen one of them critters in Orleans. Know just as much as any nigger I got.

    Bass: Listen, Epps, these niggers are human beings. If they are allowed to climb no higher than brute animals, you and men like you will have to answer for it. There is an ill, Mr. Epps. A fearful ill resting upon this nation. And there will be a day of reckoning yet.

  • Ford: What is the price for the ones Platt and Eliza?

    Freeman: A thousand for Platt; he is a nigger of talent. Seven hundred for Eliza. My fairest price.

    Ford: You will accept a note?

    Freeman: Always from you, Mr. Ford.
