Mary Prince 41-End

In the supplement near the end of the narrative, Mary’s previous master, Mr. Wood denies any wrong doing and refuses to emancipate Mary. Mr. Wood’s true colors are in the limelight and to prevent the case from going to court attempts to stall. Mr. Wood’s letter is scrutinized and many of his claims are falsified which makes Mary’s side of the story much more believable to the people. Mary is also proven in these letters by Mr. Phillip’s to be of good character and an honest person.
Mr. Woods doesn’t want this to go public in fear of being ridiculed by the British population. This is justice, although very miniscule, for Mary. At this point all Mr. Woods wants to do is scurry away with his tail between his legs after realizing everything is coming full circle. Mary Prince endured more than we can imagine and it was so that her voice could be heard and future generations can see what true determination is.
