Olaudah Equiano Questions


1.)  Other black men that he describes.
2.)  He thinks that he will be eaten by white men
3.)  Fake, or pretend Christians.
7.) I do not doubt that many of the accounts he shares of slavery a false, but his telling of his way through the middle-passage may not be completely credible. However, when writing this narrative, I doubt his goal was to show the people what he had gone through, but rather what happened to people like him. He tells the accounts of slave life and how horrible it could be for them as a whole, even if he depicts it as what happened to him.
