About Me
- Mrs. Rigsby
- I grew up in a suburb of Chicago and attended the University of Missouri at Columbia for my undergrad. I have a Masters in Elementary Education from Regis. I come from a family with four kids. My sister is a teacher in Chicago. One of my brothers lives here and the other one lives in Chicago. I moved here because my husband loved Colorado and I loved him. As it turns out,I love Colorado as well.
The relationship between Curzon and his master is very thin. Curzon hates his master, and he signed up for the war to prove it. It is not fair that the master should be able to own Curzon because when Curzon signed up for the war, he was promised freedom. He was not ever treated fairly. Curzon should still be fighting in the war, and the master shouldn't've taken Curzon out of the war. The relationship is very thin.

Curzon's relationship with James Bellingham is made from loathing. Curzon hates him and swears to kill him, while James Bellingham forces Curzon to work for him. He makes Curzon follow orders and wants Curzon to feel like it's a "privilege." James Bellingham is sarcastic and ruthless; he lies and always gets what he wants. In fact, he tricks Curzon into becoming his slave once again, even while Curzon is a soldier. At first Curzon is very smug when James Bellingham asks Curzon if he would come and tell him about the lives of the soldiers at Valley Forge. Then, Curzon finds out the truth. Hence, the hatred grows stronger.

The relationship between Curzon and his "master" James Bellingham was probably more like a friendship at one point in time. Since things have changed, their relationship most likely crubled. Now, their relationship is full of loathin, hatred, and mistrust. In other words, full of vices. The fact that Bellingham "bought" Isabel has only made matters worse.
ReplyDeleteIf what Curzon says is true, Bellingham is no longer Curzon's master. Therefore, Curzon is a free "man". In oreder to have a slave once again, Bellingham tried Curzon into meeting him somwhere with all the other important people. In order to get his way, Bellingham lies and tells false things about Curzon. It is simply not fair that Bellingham went back on his word after he told Curzon that he would be freed after he enlisted in the army. IT is unbelieveable that Bellingham swore he would sign papers to ensure Curzon's freeness. It is simply not fair....
