@aegiyolksMD I mean yes I am super sympathetic to slave dealers and masters, they should be given a break yeah totally

[Tyler Dunne @TylerDunne3]

@aegiyolksMD I could care less about how they are as people as long as I am eventually free!

[Tyler Dunne @TylerDunne3]

@aegiyolksMD Oh yes yes, they are totally superior yes. Yep they are so kind that they will give me my freedom, even though I would happily still serve them. Btw Robert, my offer still stands. I totally am wanting to improve and don’t have any other motives haha

[Tyler Dunne @TylerDunne3]

@aegiyolksMD Hey Robert, looking for any new slaves? I could use a master that will let buy my freedom— I mean treat me humanely!

[Tyler Dunne @TylerDunne3]

“Sometimes indeed we sold slaves to them, but they were only prisoners of war, or such among us as had been convicted of kidnapping, adultery” (pg 122). How do you all feel about this? I feel that it makes sense for kidnapping but adultery seems extreme to me #equiano #smce103

[Tyler Dunne @TylerDunne3]

@Jrh15Julia This is such a good point! It definitely reminds me of Caliban and how he learned to speak from Prospero but then cursed him with the words that were put upon him

[Tyler Dunne @TylerDunne3]

@Jrh15Julia Yeah #equiano truly feels so thoughtful and self aware in the purpose behind his writing that it is quite refreshing and commendable!

[Tyler Dunne @TylerDunne3]

“So sacred among them is the honor of the marriage bed, and so jealous are they of the fidelity of their wives” (pg. 118). I know I shouldn’t be surprised but I can’t see how one can justify holding women to be faithful but not men. Ye olde “boys will be boys?” #equiano #smce103

[Tyler Dunne @TylerDunne3]

“Let it therefore be remembered, that, in wishing to avoid censure, I do not aspire to praise” (pg. 117). This sentiment is so pure and respectable. It shows a felt obligation to do a service to the world by writing about one’s self in a truly selfless way #equiano #smce103

@AnyaSanNicolas1 Like I said, it had to be #donne

It had to be #donne

[Tyler Dunne @TylerDunne3]

@Fleatuss LETS GO!!!

[Tyler Dunne @TylerDunne3]

“What needst thou have more covering than a man” (926 line 48). This is so manipulative in how #donne is stating that the woman is dependent on him and doesn’t need anything else, thus cutting off everything else in her life. Sounds like a very toxic relationship #smce103

[Tyler Dunne @TylerDunne3]

“And in this flea our two bloods mingled be” (920 line 4). This line plays into the whole notion of marriage bringing two people into one. While this concept is cute, it accurately represents the loss of power that women experienced through marriage, ex: Queen E #donne #smce103

[Tyler Dunne @TylerDunne3]

“Thy beams” (916, line 11). We meet again, “beams”... Does comparing Sydney’s feminine use of “beams” change the way we perceive the sun in this poem? What does it mean if the sun is female? Also Anya feel free to make more high school musical references #donne #smce103

[Tyler Dunne @TylerDunne3]

@toriuh12 And furthermore further establishing his power over her by creating a teacher-student dynamic by saying “To teach thee” (926, line 47). Honestly just so gross

[Tyler Dunne @TylerDunne3]

@toriuh12 We’ve seen this feminization of land so many times at this point across many different texts. Why do these British men keep trying to sexualize their “conquest”? Are they compensating?
