Is it possible to distinguish between the events as they happen to Rowlandson and how she records those events in her narrative?
When reading “A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. ...
In 1678 the top selling book was “Pilgrims Progress”. ... Rowlandson wrote about being captured by the Indians and being forced to move along with them with the same form of writing as the best seller “Pilgrims Progress. ... She seems very fickle towards the Indians in her narrative. ... Her narrative really contains two stories at once, one is the action the other is the allegory, often referring to God when writing with allegory. God represents good in Rowlandsons writing, the Indians representing evil. ... The Indians success over the Puritans was a result of the failure of the Puritans to uphold their covenant with God (Gleason), this idea is portrayed several times throughout the narrative, on several occasions she does not blame the Indians for the damage and harm they have caused her and her family, but she blames God and says that he is punishing the Puritans through the destruction that the Indians do to their town.
