Analysis Of Incidents In The Life Of A Slave Girl By Harriet Jacobs
In the passage "Incidents in the Life of a slave Girl" by Harriet Jacobs she says "Slavery is bad for men, but is far more terrible for women." In my opinion I believe that it is equally harsh on both men and women.

In Frederick Douglas narrative he explains how slavery was immoral for men. One of the ways men suffered from slavery was physical. In his narrative he shows how slavery was when he says "Upon this he rushed at me with the fierceness of a tiger, tore off my clothes, and lashed me till he had worn out his switches." These actions were common and frequent for Douglas as this happen to everyone.

Women slaves also commonly experienced abuse. In Douglass's narrative he says "I have often been awakened at the dawn of day by the most

    The second part of a slave narrative is the life as a slave (Turner). This is the majority of Harriet Ann Jacobs’ Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, being from about Chapters II to XVI. She begins by describing how cruel her new master, Dr. Flint was: “[he] was an epicure. The cook never sent a dinner to his table without fear and trembling; for if there happened to be a dish not to his liking, he would either order her to be whipped, or compel her to eat every mouthful of it in his presence” (Jacobs, 22). By the age of fifteen, Dr. Flint would harass her more often and follow her closely; she was constantly reminded by him that she was nothing but his property. All of the doctor’s attention on Jacobs resulted in the mistress becoming…

    There is nothing more important to a woman than having the freedom to do as she pleases. It is an unexplainable feeling tingling on the inside of a person that is held captive against one’s will or bound to a master like a slave. Being bound by a slave master is horrible but being a woman of mixed color during that time can be detrimental to one’s soul. It is disheartening to a woman to be bound to her master in ways other than a servant. There were two narratives that tell of individual struggles of mulatto women bound under the control of another human being. Although the women in William Wells Brown Clotel; or, The President’s Daughter and Harriet Jacobs: Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl undergo drastically…

His Master Hugh found out and put a stop to it insisting Douglass would become unmanageable and unhappy.

    When I hear the word slavery, the only thing that comes to my head is cruelty. I could not even imagine how a human can threat another one like animals, as if they were and inferior or less because of the skin color. The idea of being able to read a book that was written by someone that lived during this years of brutality amazed me. Harriet Jacobs was taught how to read and write by her mothers mistress, this was not common for many of the slaves, and it is the reason why she used the name “Linda” to talk about herself during her stories, because if by any chance her master knew that she could read and write, she would have had the punishment of being whipped and put in jail. During the first chapters of her book we could notice that not all her years as a slave were miserable. In fact the first six years of her life were happy, because she didn’t know she was a slave, once she grew up her innocence started to fade, her days started to turn dark and sad. As described in her book the living conditions were like hell on earth. Slavery not only affected the slaves, it also completely destroyed moral…

    To talk about Douglass’s slave life with physical violence we can think about Covey. According to Douglass’s narrative, he was a farm renter and a poor man. He works sometimes as a trainer of slaves from the government two or three years without any charge (p.126). To tell about the bitterest dregs of slavery in his entire life, Douglass said, it was the slavery life staying six months with Covey. Shortest nights were too long for him and the longest day were too short for him. Covey made it possible to break down, both physically and spiritually. Douglass’s disposition to read was departed, his intellect was flagged, slavery of dark night covered to him and transformed to a brute (p.136). That is how Covey’s physical torture make a disaster…

    Harriet Jacobs wanted to tell her story, but knew she lacked the skills to write the story herself. She had learned to read while young and enslaved, but, at the time of her escape to the North in 1842, she was not a proficient writer. She worked at it, though, in part by writing letters that were published by the New York Tribune, and with the help of her friend, Amy Post. Her writing skills improved, and by 1858, she had finished the manuscript of her book, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl.…

    “The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead” (Power 1), Aristotle knew the importance of education; especially literacy. Literacy is what stood between the slaves and the slaves owners. However, some of the enslaved were fortunate enough to possess more intelligence than their owners knew.

Jacobs account in Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl truly depict the power of literacy.…

    "[Master] was a cruel man, hardened by a long life of slave holding. He would at times seem to take great pleasure in whipping a slave. I had often been awakened at the dawn of day by the most heart-rending shrieks of an own aunt of mine, was whipped upon her naked back till she was to move his iron heart from its bloody purpose. The louder she screamed, the harder he whipped; and where the blood ran fastest, there he whipped longest. He would whip her to make her scream, and whip her to make her hush..."� (Douglass, 3-4).…

    Before Douglass realised he was willing to change, he had suffered from unconceivable cruelty in many occasions, which marked him and made him a slave.

Moreover, he was also a witness of the brutal abuse his aunt Hester suffered from their master. In addition, not only did he witness all the whippings, but he also suffered from countless whippings himself. The act of whipping was used both to punish the slaves and to show that the…
