abolitionist
Madison is a very passive abolitionist. He does not condone slavery and would like to see it changed, but would be unlikely to pro-actively do it. He is responsive to the dilemmas of his friend, but isn't going out of his way to save others.
-
selfishness
A moral conundrum. Riddle me this: Is it better to leave a friend in slavery than to condone slavery by buying him?"
-
dubious in any way.
I see this as an intent to make white readers feel good about themselves by reading about a benevolent white abolitionist interacting with a smart, strong, and kind slave. It is hyper idealized
-
Later the story performs its inevitable acrobatics and turns really into a slave narrative where we see the enemies as the revolting slaves.
"Inevitable acrobatics" makes it sound like Melville was assigned an essay to write

The irony of us seeing Babo as a villainous character was clear to me, especially after class discussion, but I wonder why some people don't see this?

All the story does is reiterate the societal bounds that women and minority groups have been trying to break.
Nah. A bit at times, but nah.

her Unca nor Alluca are examples of feminist characters for one simple reason: every action they both take is motivated by the pursuit of a man. Do they not have princess-based duties they need to be fulfilling? All they do is run around and fight over the affections of a white man, and guess what? It costs them both their lives. But don’t worry, the grieving father with his headstrong daughter who is a spitting image of his wife will provide the right amount of dramatic tragedy to continue on with this tale. We’ll get our fairytale ending.
Alright, I've gotta disagree a bit here. We have two female characters fighting over a man, correct, but he is the DEPENDENT the entire time. He is saved by Unca, he is poisoned by Alluca, he is saved by Unca again, he then raises his daughter to have a level of respect for both cultures as she learns Native languages growing up. To say that the princesses are these secondary characters is simply not accurate. Unca is the hero of Winkfield's story. She is his ADMITTED savior (on two occasions).
-
If you asked me, I’d say it’s nonsense.
Yikes! A lot of stones being thrown here. Is it not fair to at least say that the princess was at least able to make the decision abut her future, and love for herself? Things ended well for the white European true, but she was not coerced into anything.

makes it easy for white America to disproportionately distribute empathy and judgement when reading such narratives.
Often seen today in media as well.
-
depiction of the colonial encounter isn’t valid or worth the empathy it so easily conjures up for readers.
I'm glad this is mentioned. Yes the text can serve as an imperialist agenda, but it is a persons actual experience. To simply delete it from all knowledge would be another form of revisionist history.

hypocrisy
This, I would say, is a perfect word to use. She bobbles between her faith and often sees the natives as purely evil beings, even when normal things happen.

God did not leave me to have my impatience work towards Himself, as if His ways were unrighteous
Everything is Gods plan apparently. Tons of Christian guilt in this passage. I wonder how one could operate in a stable way in society if every action and retaliation is preordained and people are merely tools of His plan? Did she go through her whole life thinking everyone she met was being mind controlled by God to test her in some way? Or is this revelation just a coping method with her situation? Is it easier for her if her captors are demons?

roasted him, and that himself did eat a piece of him, as big as his two fingers, and that he was very good meat
This seems more like a taunt than the truth. Still alarming of course. I'm starting to wonder how she communicates with her captors? Does she speak some of the language, or do they speak some of hers?

I then remembered how careless I had been of God’s holy time; how many Sabbaths I had lost and misspent, and how evilly I had walked in God’s sight; which lay so close unto my spirit, that it was easy for me to see how righteous it was with God to cut off the thread of my life and cast me out of His presence forever.
Christian guilt on display. She was not "holy" enough. This is her form of punishment. Showing further how she seems them as demons from Hell.

148 COLLEGE ENGLISH Heterogeneity in all things was the norm; a citizen of any Native North American culture could, upon a day's walk in any direction, encounter people who looked, spoke, believed, acted, dressed, and ordered their lives in ways altogether different than might be found in his or her home community.

MICHAEL DORRIS Native American Literature in an Ethnohistorical Context DURING THE PAST SEVERAL THOUSAND YEARS, Native American people have pro- duced literature rich in diversity and imagery, ancient in tradition, and universal in significance. On the other hand, there is no such thing as "Native American litera- ture," though it may yet, someday, come into being.
This, as an opening argument feels like one of semantics.
