After discussing Phillis Wheatley’s incredible intellect, Walker explains the neglect and maltreatment she received as a slave. It seems ironic that despite these biases which were placed upon her, Phillis Wheatly still held white people in high regards. Walker calls this theme “contrary instinct” which basically means that Wheatley adapted to the environment she was in regardless of her personal feelings. She writes about a “goddess” who apparently is a white girl with blonde hair. It seems logical that this reflects her upbringing and demonstrates that she respected what she observed and learned from her white slave owners. Since it is obvious that Wheatly was an extremely strong writer, it becomes questionable what would have come of her writings had there not been such strong discrimination.
