An important work of 19th century American literature. It is a highly symbolic play that serves to critique the enslavement of African Americans and express Brown's notions of emancipation. Through his use of elaborate metaphors and allusions, Brown articulates the sentiments of both the oppressed and oppressor, thereby creating a drama that examines social injustice from multiple perspectives.
