Response # 1 Character Contrast

Hawkeye is one of the main characters in the book The Last of the Mohicans. He is a white man but was basically adopted into Chingachgook’s family. He has inner conflict about not having any Indian blood in him even though he acts more Indian than any of the Indians in his love for nature and comfort in the woods. In contrast Magua is an Indian who is a traitor to his heritage, kicked out of his tribe for drunkenness he is completely driven by revenge. Magua is willing to torture the Colonel by abducting his daughters and threatening to marry one of them.
