I think that if you take a look at how far in distance they are in the beginning of the book it would tell you a lot. The father/son pair are close together, which emply to me that they have a good close relationship. They also talk about a pride the man has in his son. The other pair, the father daughter pair, start off distant and they are almost kept away from him. This emplies to me they are a bit a part from each other, still caring for each other but not close. I find it intresting that it seems every time the father of the two girls is mentioned they seem to be praying for him, like the writer was mixing religion into this story with a distant relationship with god and a close relationship to nature with the relationship of Chingachgook and Uncas.
These two relationships differ in a father-son relationship and a father-daughter relationship. Uncas is the son of Chingachgook and one of the last members of the Mohicans. This relationship seems to be a man-to-man relationship in where they respect one another. The relationship of father- daughter with Colonel Munro and his daughters seems to show natural protectiveness and emotion. Colonel Munro is a commander and his daughters respect him, but also challenge him in his decisions if they disagree. An example of a disagreement is when Colonel Munro says Hawkeye is guilty for sedition and then the daughter begs for her father to change his mind. The disagreement is shown openly.
I agree, the relationship with Chingachgook and Uncas is more mature but the one between Munro and his daughters is very much of a less respectful relationship to the daughters.
I am not so sure about less respect because of the fact of the time period. In these days women are more of individuals and have rights when in that time period the women did not have rights and were told what to do.
The father-child relationship between Uncas and Chingachgook is laden with deep respect, ritual, obedience, and pride. Chingachgook prizes his son and desires for him to be strong, accountable, and to essentially carry on the Mohican blood-line. Uncas sees his father as his guide, he has deep respect always shown in his obedience towards him and his attentiveness to his fathers needs and wishes. Hawkeye also prizes Chingachgook as he became his father figure and despite their difference in color he taught Hawkeye the ways of the Mohican. Hawkeye, Uncas, and Chingachgook were a team always working together and looking after each other. Amongst all three men respect, honor, and civility were always present and obedience towards one another was prominent. The father-daughter relationships that occurred between Cora, Alice, and Munro were consistently strained due to the war. While Munro adored his girls, he was too busied with his duties as officer to see to their true safety and to ensure their emotional needs were met. His allegiance was to the King and not to his family; there is also an aspect of favoritism for Alice over Cora. There is a consistent love and affection shown toward Alice that is not bestowed to Cora.
Munro and his daughters are, as I saw, a very warm, caring bond they share. Munro call the girls his lambs and they seem to be very close, and the bond they expressed when reuniting at the fort was very comforting (alics moreso than cora). Uncas and Chingachgook(such a hard name) are more of a warrior, team up for better good bond. yes Chingachgook is caring but I don't see them expressing the emotional aspects.
he most notable difference in the two parent-child relationship is seen in the character Plagia. Plagia and her father Rismo have an understanding based on their similar cultural heritage. For example, when they talk about whether or not to continue fighting in the war, they with one look seem to agree to forfeit the battle. Plagia perceives that it’s better to walk away with honor and truth, rather than copy the patterns of the people in the past and keep fighting with shortcuts and unoriginality

ReplyDeleteI find it hard to call them, the Munro's, close because during the fight the father didn't go to rescue his girls, he just ran to safe himself.
DeleteWhat about a comparison between the two relationships? Between Chingachgook and Uncas and the Munros.
