Olaudah Equiano’s Narrative is almost certainly the only ex-slave narrative written by someone who experienced life as a free person in Africa, capture, and eventual transport to the New World as cargo/ a slave. Once he becomes free, Equiano writes his story to reveal how it feels to experience freedom until 11 and then to experience and observe the horrors of slavery and the slave trade. He wants to highlight the equal humanity of Africans and Europeans and show that Africans also have an equal right to freedom and self-determination. Briefly what for you was a particularly striking experience he describes or observation he makes in his narrative.
