Mary Prince mentions earlier in the text of having Saint Anthony’s fire on her left leg leaving her almost a cripple. Not only suffering from a skin infection, Mary Prince also develops Rheumatism which is a debilitating disorder that effects the joints of the body. Although a cripple, Mary Prince was still forced to work and beaten. This makes the reader wonder what other infections, diseases, and sufferings Mary Prince had been through which the text has not included.
Furthermore, her willpower to continue on and her tenacity to be free is incomparable to most. The thoughts that were running through her mind that kept her going through all this pain. How was Mary Prince able to convince herself to not give up and see the light at the end of the tunnel? All those sleepless nights and hopelessness and she was still able to find strength and pull through. It’ll come a time when we have a “bad day” and think of Mary Prince. Our worst day is a good day for Mary Prince.
