- W2488009099 abstract "For Cooper’s contemporaneous readers, the central event of The Last of the Mohicans was the surrender of Fort William Henry. This event was epitomized in the brutal murder of a baby and its mother as the defeated column of English leave the fort.1 This image of the helpless and innocent mother and child as victim of the vicious, unreasoning and unreasonable savage resonated with cultural attitudes of the period.2 A second, less acknowledged dynamic also plays out in this scene: the inability or the unwillingness of the hero to protect women in the wilderness. All the heroic figures of the book are present at this scene. Not one can help the woman and the baby. Not one even tries. It is only Cora who makes a movement to counsel the woman, but it is too late.3 A third aspect of this scene also demonstrates the nature of the dynamics of the frontier: the women are taken into the wilderness, almost captives to the hero(es), and put at peril there. This scene is one of many examples in the novel where female characters are taken into the wilderness by male characters and function as captives in one spot or another throughout their sojourns in the wilderness. They are captives within the fort, where they are being protected but where they are also confined and prevented from leaving. Indeed, there is no place for them to go. If they were to succeed in leaving the fort, they would become prey to the Indians." @default.
