Edgar+Huntly

=Edgar Huntly Correlation with Cicero on Duties Book II​ =

Edgar goes through a perilous journey, where he encounters many barriers. He asked himself "Where was the series of hardships and perils to end?"(Brown 112). At one point he sees a "...hapless girl.." (Brown 91), we see cicero's ideas pop up. Huntly has to decide whether he will save the girl or risk his own skin, in the end "After some fluctuation, I determined to returrn to the cavern and attempt the rescue of the girl."(Brown 91). Despite the dangers Huntly went through, and the one he knew he would risk by saving the unknown girl, he decides to do what is moral. His act is a reflection of Cicero's concept in Book II.
 * //Individual//

//Government// The plotline of //Edagr Huntly// runs around a shaky time period in American History. With a newly drawn up Constitution and a weak unity, a parallisim can be seen between Edgar's hardships and America's hardships."Clithero-finding, like nation-building, is a multistage process that requires extensive vision in both the ploughed and wild North American landscape." (Bigelow), even Bigelow reconizes the connectin. Huntly goes out to find Clithero and then ends up discovering many other things about himself and his capabiltites. Likewise our founding fathers sought to edit the Articles of Confederation and instead rewrote it into the Constitution .**
