According to one of the most detailed accounts of the events thatthe 1612 hangings, written in Nahuatl by Chimalpahin in his MCity annals, the conspirators sought to rebel against the viceregaernment, decimate the Spanish population, and establish a blackdom in New Spain-a monarquia africana.3 The purported plan wfollows. After killing their Spanish masters, the conspirators were goto crown one of their own as king and a mulata morisca, or light-skimulatto woman, as their queen.4 Having previously assigned themnobility titles and royal administrative posts, the rebels would estheir own government and force the indigenous people to providewith tribute.

orning of May 2, 1612, a Wednesday, thirty-five blacksand mulattoes (twenty-eight men and seven women) wereescorted by New Spain's authorities through the streets ofMexico City. They were being paraded on horseback, shamed before theresidents of the viceregal capital, before all were summarily hanged infront of a large crowd in the central plaza facing the church and palace.The bodies of some of the victims remained suspended in the airthrough the next day, which happened to be the celebration of the HolyCross, the fiesta de Santa Cruz. The horrible spectacle did not end withthe hangings. After consulting with a group of doctors about the fate ofthe bodies, Mexico City's royal tribunal, the Audiencia, ordered twenty-nine to be decapitated and the heads left to rot on top of the nine gallows(eight of which had been made for the occasion). The other six were quar-tered, and the parts were placed on pikes on the city's main streets androads. Serving as potent symbols of royal power and of the marginal placeoccupied by people of African ancestry within the Spanish colonial order,the body parts were left on display until their stench became both unbear-able and insalubrious for the residents of the capital.

ceramics produced in the city were a testament to the diverse populationsand various different cultural influences present in the colony. Potters inPuebla created a style of their own that combined indigenous, European,and Asian designs. The resultant aesthetic was uniquely Mexican andbecame a point of pride in the eighteenth century. By considering thesociopolitical reality of the city in which the potters worked we see thatwhen the potters rendered foreign motifs into locally recognizable forms(such as the substitution of the quetzal for the phoenix) it was not alwaysbecause they were interpreting East Asian forms based on what they knew,but also because they were creating ceramics that were meant to appeal toconsumers as a local product and not as a replacement for Chineseporcelain.

uebla was initially established as areligious and cultural center for the colony, being built in a previouslyunsettled area so that it could be a purely Spanish city, free of influencesfrom the native populations.

The particular virtuosity of the threeformal flaws is that they variously demonstrate the narrative, psychological,and theological productivity “Pearl” finds in fallibility.

hermetically sealed circle

There seems little chance that the poet would overlook this forcefor ideological impact in Pearl. When a writer so patently insists onrelating form to substance, not only devising both a pattern of lexicalcontinuity and a form of stanzaic structure that work in concert toembody thematic design, but even on occasion exploiting the characteristics of word form to maintain the lexical pattern, then he is clearlylikely to have word form itself figure in the thematic design too.
