Narrative of Equiano & Douglass/A Comparison

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

A 3 page essay that contrasts and compares the slave narratives of Olaudah Equiano and Frederick Douglass. While each of these autobiographical accounts were written in order to inform the white reading public about the horrors of slavery, examination of these books shows that Douglass’ narrative is the more radical of the two due to the fact that Equiano’s experience, while horrible, was less dehumanizing and severe.
