SCENE 6-2abc : Seizing Covey by the throat!
At the beginning of his last six months on Coveys farm an incident triggers the turning point in his life as an enslaved individual.
Sheer exhaustion on a hot Summers day sets in motion a series of events that results in a decision to take Covey on irrespective of the outcome.
To his great surprise his stance and resolve not to give in and to fight Covey directly results in Covey being ‘broken’ and not inflicting any more cruelty during the rest of Fredericks time with him.
It is a major turning point in his life which restores and fuels the fire of eventual escape.
