Lincoln’s political victory to Uncle Tom’s Cabin.

Seriously, Madison, cut your losses and stay in Canada where there’s poutine and Tim Hortons.

He wants nothing to do with slavery and wishes to see it gone from the world.
it is essential to understand how and why Mr. Listwell came to develop this strong conviction. He witnessed and heard the testimony of Madison.

Later the story performs its inevitable acrobatics

He plays on our understanding of the story as we read it
interesting point of how Melville viewed and anticipated his audience.

Many times in a morning, the generality of them would eat up all they had, and yet have some further supply against they wanted.
This is a fascinating statement because Rowlandson is having the realization that God is behind the abundant provision that the Indigenous people. God holds no bias against who may receive His provision, so long as they seek to receive it. Let us consider Luke 12:24

Isaiah 55.8: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.” And also that [in] Psalm 37.5: “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.”
Focusing on the specific word "way", Jesus Christ states in the book of John "Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6. It seems to me that Mary is finding comfort or "revival" within these specific verses because they have to do with submission of one's human will to that of God's will.

Down I sat, with my heart as full as it could hold, and yet so hungry that I could not sit neither; but going out to see what I could find, and walking among the trees, I found six acorns, and two chestnuts, which were some refreshment to me.
Again, hunger comes up. Mary speaks of both the need for nourishment both physically and spiritually.
