Frederick Douglass, The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave, Written by Himself

Frederick Douglass’s Narrative (1845) offered his readers, a great deal of whom were white, liberal, and/or female abolitionists, a glimpse into the horrors of slavery in America from a perspective that even white abolitionists could not fathom. The “peculiar institution” of slavery, according to Douglass, places the slave into bondage but the slave owner as well, and the Narrative inculcates that slavery is both physical and psychological.

How does Douglass free himself psychologically and physically from his bondage? What qualities or characteristics does it seem to have for him? What skills or values is it necessary for him to learn before he can make the transition from slavery to freedom? Why does he view these skills as essential?
