Abstract
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave is an autobiography published in 1845. Frederick Douglass tells a story about his life, describing his childhood, his life as a slave and his struggles to become a free man. Similarly, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, an autobiography of Harriet Jacobs published in 1861, shows the struggles she faces throughout the process of attaining freedom. These two narratives are deeply fraught with depictions of slavery and horrific experiences of African American slaves. The autobiographies thoroughly describe the hideous conditions the slaves were forced to live in and the consequences such conditions had on their lives. Both Douglass and Jacobs later contributed to the anti-slavery movement with their stories and writings. These narratives, written from a point of view of a man and a woman respectively, show the difficulties of slavery for both genders, with some differences, but also with many similarities. The aim of this paper is to show the struggles the slaves face in trying to attain freedom and tries to prove that slavery was equally bad for both men and women.
