During the reading of Mary Prince, I believe that Mrs. Wood hiring Martha Wilcox was very significant. The reason it was important because Wilcox is a mulatto woman and had a similar personality like Mrs. Wood and Mr. Wood. In addition, Martha Wilcox was considered to be superior over Mary Prince. I am disgusted at Martha’s attitude towards Mary Prince because she would always told Mrs. Wood if Mary refuse to perform her task. Also, another thing I feel outrageous is Mary being severely whipped by Mrs. Wood. Furthermore, she was locked in a cage like an animal. After being tortured physical and mental, Mary was very weak and could barely performed her tasks. Moreover, the other slaves worried about her illness. Unfortunately, they cannot tend her because Mrs. Wood ‘s wrath. Both Mr. Wood and Mrs. Wood planned to let Mary find an owner. Since Mary had been saving a lot of money due to working in small-time services, it was futile for her to find another owner.
