On the other hand she might be like those men and women who would poison any person who they had a resentment towards or who just enjoyed killing people. There's no way to know. There are cases, of course, such as the sadistic Darya Saltykova, where slaves (serfs) were murdered by their mistress, and of African queens who murdered underlings and husbands for various motives. In the case at hand, being a slave of a master "known to have been uniformly kind to his slaves" was a better station than many free people had, regardless of race, so it was not a very clever freedom-loving tactic to not only commit a murder against such a master and to do it in such a fashion as to take a big risk of getting caught and sent to prison.St. Estephehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11524785594106747591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496069017254326809.post-6148756758619280642015-03-16T19:22:20.449-07:002015-03-16T19:22:20.449-07:00In here case, she may well have done it because of...In here case, she may well have done it because of anger at being a slave?Cheka Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07855479282168066883noreply@blogger.com
