Love in Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl
In the book Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl Love is almost or pretty much a impossible thing to do when you are a slave. If a slave does find either another slave that they love or a free slave then most likely their master or mistress will stop them from either seeing each other or threaten to do something if they don't stop loving each other. Even if a slave is able to get married, which is highly unlikely if they were to have kids they would be sold into slavery and everyone in the family could be sold and separated from the rest of the family. Also with the effect of slave owners threatening to beat them or do something else if they fall in love with another slave or someone else then it makes it even harder to stay in love with that person due to the fact of the slave owners doing everything they can to stop it from happening. I don't find it right in any way that slave owners should stop their slaves from falling in love with someone even if then they were considered to them as "property".
