Through Frederick Douglass and his Narrative, we can see into slavery from a mental state rather from a physical state. Frederick Douglass’ Narrative of his life is about his experiences both during and following his life as a slave. The Narrative is Douglass’ tool for establishing himself as an abolitionist leader as well as an escaped slave. It’s based on the ideas of legal liberation and a mental and emotional liberation from slavery. Douglass comes to terms with himself as not only as a man, but also as a black man, and an American slave. Douglass’ Narrative is, in many parts, one that focuses much on physical events of his life. This allows the reader to vividly see both maturation and decay of Douglass as a person and of the institution of slavery.
