What does this action tell you about Mammy? About how slaves fought against their owners? What similarities do you see between how John and Mammy reacted to their punishments? How does this show them fighting against their owner? The master does some pretty terrible things– but does he break Mammy or John? Who ‘wins’ this interaction?
