ELondon eyayimatasa maphakathi nekhulu le-17, izindaba zandiza zisuka ethaveni ziye kwenye indawo yokudlela kanye nemakethe ziye kwenye. Phakathi kwamahemuhemu ezepolitiki, izimpi, kanye nobhubhane, igama elilodwa laqala ukuzwakala njalo: UMary Carleton, “iNkosazana yaseJalimane” eyimfihlakaloIsibalo sakhe, esasihileleke ezindabeni zobulili obuhlukile, ukweba kanye nokwebiwa kobunikazi, saba ngomunye wemibukiso emikhulu yomphakathi yangaleso sikhathi.
Indaba yalona wesifazane, owazalwa engenamalungelo kodwa ehlome ngobuhlakani obubukhali kanye nethalente elingavamile lokulingisa, yagcwala izinkantolo futhi yahlala emapheshaneni, emidlalweni yeshashalazi kanye nasemibuthanweni yokuzijabulisa. UMariya wayengeyena nje omunye umkhohlisi, kodwa wayewuphawu olungakhululekile. ngendlela owesifazane angasebenzisa ngayo imifantu emphakathini oqinile ukuze azivuselele ngokuphindaphindiwe, edlala ngokulindelwe ngozalo, ubulili, kanye nokuziphatha.
Imvelaphi ethobekile kanye nengqondo engavamile
Wazalelwa eCanterbury cishe ngo-1642, wakhulela emndenini othobekile, indodakazi yomculi ongenazo inhlanhla enkulu, kodwa enokufinyelela endaweni ecebile yamasiko kunabesifazane abaningi besikhathi sakhe. Kusukela esemncane kakhulu wabonisa ilukuluku elikhulu lokufunda izincwadi, into engavamile entombazaneni enesizinda sayo sezenhlalo eNgilandi yekhulu le-17.
Wafunda konke ayengakuthola: kusukela emibhalweni yenkolo kuya ezincwadini zemiyalelo, futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke, izincwadi zobuqhawe kanye namanoveli e-adventurePhakathi kwabo, omunye wabo wamphawula kakhulu: Amadis of GaulUMariya waqonda izindima ngekhanda futhi wazihlanganisa nobuqili nokuzimisela kwabalingiswa abanjengoNkosazana u-Oriana. Le ncwadi yobuqhawe yayingeyona nje into yokuzijabulisa; yamnika uhlu lwezimpawu zomzimba, izinkulumo, kanye nezinkomba ayezozisebenzisa kamuva ukwakha izindima zakhe zomphakathi.
Ngenxa yothando lwakhe lokufunda, uMary wathuthukisa ikhono elalingavamile kumongo wakhe: Wayekhuluma izilimi eziningana kahle futhi wayeqeqeshwe ngobuciko.Lolu lwazi luzoba lubalulekile ekukholiseni abanye ukuthi wayengowesifazane wakwelinye izwe ozalelwe ebukhosini, okhuliswe kahle futhi ojwayelene nezinkundla zokuxhumana.
Ezweni lapho abesifazane kwakudingeka babe nesizotha, bathule, futhi balalele, uMary waqonda ngokushesha ukuthi isikhali sakhe esingcono kakhulu kwakuyoba amazwi akhe. Wafunda ukufunda abantu kalula njengoba efunda incwadi, ukubona izifiso zabo, ukwesaba, kanye nezifiso zabo ukuze bazisebenzisele inzuzo yabo.
Imishado yasekuqaleni, izinhlekelele, kanye necala lokuqala lomshado wesibili
Ngaphambi kokuba abe “iNkosazana yaseJalimane” edumile, uMary wayephila impilo evamile, okungenani ngaphandle. Umshado wakhe wokuqala wawungowakhe UJohn Steadman, umkhandi wezicathulo waseCanterburyWazala abantwana naye, yize, ngokusho kwemithombo, izingane zashona zisencane kakhulu, okuwukushaywa okwamthinta kakhulu.
Leyo nhlekelele yomuntu siqu, lapho ukuba ngumama nekhaya kwakuyiyona ndlela kuphela yokwanelisa abesifazane, kubonakala sengathi yaba negalelo ekucabangeni kabusha ikusasa lakhe. Esikhundleni sokuzinikela ekuphileni kobunzima, waqala ukufuna ezinye izixazululo.noma ngabe kusho ukuzibeka ngaphandle komthetho kanye nokuziphatha okukhona.
Ngemva kokushiya uSteadman, washada nomyeni wesibili, u- Udokotela ohlinzayo waseDover owaziwa ngokuthi uDayFuthi lo mshado wawungeke ulethe ukuphela okuzinzile empilweni yakhe. Ngokushesha, uMary wanyamalala futhi ngendlela efanayo ayefike ngayo, eqala indlela ayezoyiphinda iminyaka eminingi: ubudlelwano obufushane, izithembiso zekusasa elingcono, kanye nokuhoxa ngesikhathi esifanele, ethatha izinsiza noma izinzuzo naye.
Kusukela ngo-1658, igama lakhe laqala ukusabalala emarekhodi enkantolo ngesizathu esasizomhlupha impilo yakhe yonke: icala lomshado wesithembuKodwa-ke, kulelo cala lokuqala, wakwazi ukunqoba. Inkantolo ayikwazanga ukufakazela ukuthi wayesashadile noSteadman, ngokwengxenye ngoba akazange afakaze, ngenxa yokushoda kwemali yokuhamba nokusekela inqubo.
Lesi siqephu samfundisa isifundo esibalulekile: Uhlelo lwezomthetho lwalunezihibe futhi lwalungaphathwa kabi.Uma ayehamba phakathi kwamadolobha, eshintsha igama lakhe, futhi esebenzisa ukuhamba kancane kanye nezindleko zesimiso sobulungiswa, wayenethuba elikhulu lokugwema ukugwetshwa, ngisho nasemacala amakhulu njengobufebe.
Ukukhwabanisa eYurophu kanye nokuqeqeshwa kokuba “inkosazana”
Ngaphambi kwesigameko esasizomenza adume eLondon, uMary waya ezwekazini laseYurophu. Wachitha isikhathi esithile e- I-Cologne, eJalimane yanamuhlaLapho, wahlangana namalungu omphakathi ophakeme wendawo. Yilapho athuthukisa khona ubuntu bakhe njengowesifazane wakwelinye izwe ocebile nocebile.
Kulowo muzi, wahlangana nendoda endala eyayikhangwe ngokuphelele ubuhle bayo. Ngemva kwezinsuku ezintathu nje kuphela bezana, babeka usuku lomshado. Bemethemba ngokuphelele, Indoda yamnika imali eningi ukuhlela umcimbi kanye nawo wonke amalungiselelo adingekayo.
Njengokulindelekile, uMary wasebenzisa leli thuba. Akagcinanga nje ngokugcina imali kumyeni wakhe owayesolwa, kodwa futhi… Wakhohlisa umuntu ayesebenza naye, umninindlu ayemcebe naye kulolu zungu.Lapho usuku lomshado lufika, womabili la madoda athola ukuthi umakoti wayesenyamalele, eshiya uchungechunge lwezikweletu, izinsolo kanye nokuhlekwa okukhulu.
Lokhu okuhlangenwe nakho kwamanye amazwe kwaba yindawo yokumvivinya. Walungisa indlela yakhe yokukhuluma, imikhuba yakhe, kanye nomlando wakhe ohlonishwayoWafunda ukuthi abantu abahlukene basabela kanjani ekukhangeni okubonakalayo kwengcebo nozalo. Konke lokhu kwakuzoba yinto ebalulekile lapho ebuyela eNgilandi, ezimisele ukudlala umdlalo oyingozi kakhulu.
Ngayo yonke inkohliso entsha, uMary wayeyilungisa indima yakhe: wayeziveza njengentandane evela emndenini omuhle, indlalifa yengcebo kuleli zwekazi, efundiswe ngezilimi eziningana futhi ejwayele izinga eliphezulu lokuphila. Ithiyetha nokuphila kwansuku zonke kwaqala ukuhlangana kwaba ukukhiqiza kwesiteji esisodwa, lapho ayengumlingiswa oyinhloko nomqondisi khona.
Ukudalwa “kweNkosazana yaseJalimane”
Emuva eLondon, uMary wanquma ukuthatha isinyathelo esibalulekile emdlalweni wakhe wobuwena. Wazivuselela njengomuntu Inkosazana yaseJalimane, iyintandane, icebile futhi impofu, isisulu sezinhlekelele zomndeni, kodwa usenemali eningi okuthiwa ivinjiwe noma isalinde isimangalo.
Ukungena kwakhe endaweni yesehlakalo kwabalwa kwaze kwaba yi-millimeter. Ngolunye usuku ekuseni wabonakala e- I-Exchange Tavern yaseLondonKwakuyindawo lapho abathengisi, ochwepheshe, kanye nesigaba esiphakeme babehlangana khona, bephelezelwa umpristi wesifunda. Wacela indawo yokuhlala kanye nesivikelo, ethi udinga indawo yokukhosela ekufuneni komfundisi, okwamenza washeshe wazwelana nalabo ababekhona.
Umnikazi wethaveni, ehlabeke umxhwele yindlela yakhe yokuma, ikhono lakhe lokuziveza ngezilimi ezahlukene, kanye nobucwebe ayebugqokile, wanquma ukumsiza futhi wamethula esihlotsheni sakhe noma kumuntu amaziyo. UJohn Carleton, ummeli osemusha ofundayo oneminyaka engaba yishumi nesishiyagalombili ubudalaKusukela kulowo mhlangano kwaqala esinye seziqephu okukhulunywa kakhulu ngaso eNgilandi yekhulu le-17.
Ngesikhathi sokuqomisana, uMary wabonisa yonke imidwebo yakhe. izincwadi okuthiwa zithunyelwe zivela eJalimaneWakhuluma ngempahla, iziqu, nemali engenayo, futhi wasikisela ukuthi wayefuna umshado ofanele ozomvikela ezinkingeni ezazimphoqe ukuba abaleke ezweni lakubo. Umndeni kaJohn, ukhangwe ithuba lokushada nowesifazane wesinye isizwe, wenza umzamo omkhulu wokuqinisekisa umshado.
Umshado wagujwa ngesivinini esikhulu kangangokuthi Kwadingeka ukuthi kuphindwe ngenxa yezinkinga zokuphatha ngamaphepha. Ekuqaleni, wonke umuntu wayebonakala eqiniseka ukuthi benze isivumelwano esihle kakhulu: umshado onenzuzo ohlanganisa ummeli ofisayo nomuntu ocebile. Kodwa inkohliso yayizophela ngokushesha.
Ihlazo: ukuhlukana, ukukhohlisa kanye nokuqulwa kwecala e-Old Bailey
Lapho umndeni wakwaCarleton uqala ukuphenya kabanzi ngenhlanhla yesihlobo sakubo esisha, bathola ukuthi Iningi lengcebo eyayithenjisiwe lalimane nje liyinkunguKwakungekho izindawo ezitholakala kalula, amagugu ayebonakala engabalulekanga kangako njengoba ayebonakala, futhi okungenani izincwadi zazisola.
Ukudumala kwaphenduka intukuthelo. AmaCarleton aqala ukusola ukuthi le nkosazana yayingeyena lowo ayezibiza ngaye futhi aqala ukuxazulula imfihlakalo. Ngokushesha, kwavela izindaba zesikhathi esidlule eCanterbury, zomyeni wokuqala, umkhandi wezicathulo ogama lakhe linguSteadman, futhi mhlawumbe nomyeni wesibili, udokotela ohlinzayo eDover. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuqhubeke, ingxabano yangasese yaba yicala lomphakathi.
Ngo-1663, uMary walethwa phambi kwezinkantolo enkantolo edumile. I-Old Bailey yaseLondonWasolwa ngokusemthethweni ngokushada noJohn Carleton ngesikhathi kuthiwa usashade noJohn Steadman. Icala lavusa isithakazelo esikhulu emphakathini: imigwaqo ezungeze ijele kanye nenkantolo kwakugcwele ababukeli abalangazelela ukubona lowo obizwa ngokuthi “iNkosazana yaseJalimane.”
Abamangaleli abazange bamane basole ngokuthi uMariya wayenecala lokwehlukana. kwaqalwa inkohliso eyinkimbinkimbi yobunikaziezenza umuntu wangaphandle ozalelwe emakhaya amaningi ukuze athole umshado ozuzisayo ngokwezomnotho. UJohn Carleton waziveza njengesisulu somkhohlisi omkhulu, umuntu owayesebenzise kabi ukukhohliswa kanye nokulindela komphakathi kokukhula ngomshado.
Nokho, icala lalingelona elilula njengoba amaCarleton ayelindele. Ubufakazi babubuthakathakaUfakazi oyedwa kuphela owavela mayelana nobuhlobo bakhe bangaphambilini noSteadman, futhi lo fakazi, ngenxa yokuntuleka kwezinsiza, akakwazanga ukuvela mathupha. Ukuzivikela kukaMary kwasebenzisa lobu buthakathaka, futhi yena ngokwakhe wakha indaba ethakazelisayo, esebenzisa ulwazi lwakhe ekukhulumeni esidlangalaleni nasekuphatheni imibono.
Ekugcineni, inkantolo ayikwazanga ukufakazela ngokusobala ukuthi wayeshade ngokusemthethweni noSteadman ngesikhathi eshada noJohn. Wakhululwa ecaleni lomshado wesibili.Lokhu akuzange kuvimbele impikiswano ukuthi iqhubeke ikhula, futhi akuzange kuvimbele idumela lakhe njengomkhohlisi ukuba livele.
Amapheshana, ama-autobiography, kanye nempi yezinguqulo
Icala likaMary Carleton alizange lihlale ngaphakathi kwezindonga zenkantolo. Ngo-1663, kwaqubuka ihlazo langempela. ukushaqeka okushicilelwe okuzungeze isithombe sakhePhakathi nezinyanga ezimbalwa, kwavela amapheshana namapheshana angaphezu kweshumi nambili alandisa, ahumusha, noma asebenzisa kabi indaba yakhe, exuba amaqiniso aqinisekisiwe namahemuhemu kanye nokuhlobisa kwezincwadi.
Okuphawuleka kakhulu ukuthi uMary ngokwakhe wahlanganyela ngenkuthalo kuleyo mpi yezindaba. Phakathi kwezinye izinto, washicilela imibhalo efana nalena: Ukuqinisekiswa Kwentokazi Ecindezelekile y Indaba Engokomlando Yenkosazana YaseJalimane, kuphi Uvikele inguqulo yakhe yemicimbi futhi wathi uvela eJalimane. Kuzo, wasebenzisa ulwazi lwakhe lwezilimi kanye namakhono akhe obuciko njengobufakazi obungaqondile besizinda esifundile nesivelele.
Kulezo zincwadi, uMary wagcizelela ukuthi amacala okweba nezinye izinsolo abhekene nazo zaziwumphumela ukunyundela nobuqili ngayeWethula umshado wakhe kuJohn Carleton njengomshado osheshayo, eshukunyiswa yingcindezi evela emndenini wakhe yokuba aqinisekise ingcebo yakhe ngokushesha okukhulu ngaphambi kokuba umuntu wesithathu amshade.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uJohn Carleton akazange athule. Washicilela izimpendulo zakhe, njengokuthi Ukukopisha y I-Ultimum Vale kaJohn Carleton, lapho athi uyisisulu secebo elicophelelayo. Wadlala uMariya njengomlingisi ophumelelayo, ekwazi ukugcina ubuntu bakhe obuhle ngaphandle kokuphikisana, ngaphandle kokuphakamisa izinsolo kunoma ubani oseduze naye.
Lezi zincwadi ezixubile zaguqula impilo kaMariya yaba uhlobo oluthile inoveli yesikhathi sangempelalapho iqiniso nendaba eqanjiwe kwahlangana khona ngaphandle komngcele ocacile. Abalobi abanjengoFrancis Kirkman, owayephila ngesikhathi salezi zenzakalo, bamchaza njengowesifazane owayengamanga kakhulu, hhayi ngoba eqamba amanga njalo, kodwa ngoba wayekwazi ukuhlala ezindabeni zakhe njengokungathi ziyiqiniso.
Ukwakhiwa kwethiyetha, umbukiso kanye nobunikazi
Ngaphandle kwezinkantolo namapheshana, uMary Carleton naye wakhuphukela esiteji ngokoqobo. Waze wadlala ngisho nase- bahlanganyele emidlalweni esekelwe ezimpilweni zabo, njenge Inkosazana yaseJalimane y Ukulwa Okuhlakaniphile: Noma, uVictor OwesifazaneKulezi zinhlelo, umlando wakhe waba umbukwane, futhi wadlala yena noma waphefumulela abalingiswa abaphinda amaqhinga akhe.
Kuleyo misebenzi, uMary wasebenzisa isiteji ukuze ukuze bathole ukuzwelana nomphakathiWaziveza njengowesifazane ohlakaniphile owayesanda kufunda ukuhamba ezweni elinobutha. Izinkulumo zakhe zazifana nezingxoxo zodwa lapho ayechaza khona izisusa zakhe, ethethelela izenzo zakhe, futhi ebuza ngezindinganiso ezazimlahla.
Icala lakhe lihlobene nabanye abantu besifazane ababengathembekile ngaleso sikhathi, njengalabo UMary Frith, owaziwa ngokuthi uMal CutpurseUmhlali waseLondon odumile ngokugqoka izingubo zamadoda, ukubhema ezindaweni zokuphuza utshwala ngokweqile, ukuphuza kakhulu utshwala, nokuxoxa izindaba ze-risqué ezindleleni ezivulekile kanye nasemibuthanweni yasebusuku. Bobabili bavezwa emibhalweni yezindaba eziqanjiwe kamuva ezabonakala njengeziyingxenye yesiko elifanayo namanoveli afana nalawa I-Moll Flanders nguDaniel Defoe.
Le mibhalo kanye nezethulo zibonisa umhlaba lapho abanye besifazane, naphezu kwemingcele yezomthetho neyezenhlalo, Baphambukile ngamabomu kumbhalo wesifazane owamukelekile.Ukubhema esidlangalaleni, ukuphuza utshwala, ukuzulazula wedwa edolobheni, noma ukulandisa izindaba ezimfushane emibuthanweni yabesilisa kwakubhekwa njengokuziphatha okuyingozi ngoba kwakubekela inselele umgomo wokuthobeka, ukuthula nokuzithoba.
Ngale ndlela, uMary Carleton akagcinanga nje ngokukhohlisa abantu abathile; wadalula nokuthi babuthakathaka kangakanani. izigaba zobunikazi, ubulili, kanye nedumela emphakathini othanda kakhulu uhlu lozalo kanye nokuhlonishwa. Umlingiswa ngamunye wayewukugxeka okuphilayo kwalezo zindinganiso, noma ngabe ukugxeka kwakugoqwe ngobugebengu.
Ukuxoshwa, ukubuya ngasese, kanye nokufa ngokulengiswa
Ngemva kovivinyo olukhulu lwango-1663 kanye negagasi lezincwadi ezalandela, impilo kaMary ayizange ihlale phansi nhlobo. Waqhubeka nokuhamba phakathi kwamadolobha nezindawo ezahlukene, esebenzisa ulwazi lwakhe ukuqhubeka nokuzijwayeza. ukukhwabanisa okuncane nokukhulukanye nokusebenzisa izikhala zesistimu.
Ngesinye isikhathi kamuva, wasolwa ngokweba, futhi iziphathimandla zanquma ukumjezisa ngesilinganiso esivame kakhulu emacaleni athile: ukudingiselwa eJamaica, ngaleso sikhathi kwakuyikoloni laseNgilandi. Inhloso, ngokwengxenye, kwakuwukususa abantu abahluphayo ngokubaxosha ezweni labo.
Nokho, uMary wenqaba ukunyamalala aye eCaribbean. Ngandlela thile, wakwazi ukubuya. ngasese eNgilandiukuphikisa ukuvinjelwa nokukhombisa futhi ukuthi imingcele yendawo yayingeyona isithiyo esiqondile kuye.
Lokho kubuyela ngasese ekugcineni kwaba ukuwa kwakhe. Waphinde wathinteka emacaleni okweba kanye nokuphanga izinto ezincane, kodwa kulokhu ubulungiswa abuzange bube nomusa. Ngo-1673, Wagwetshwa ukufa ngenxa yokweba. futhi kwaphela ngokulengiswa, kwavala indlela yokuphila ephawulwa yingozi eqhubekayo kanye nokuvuselelwa okuqhubekayo.
Nokho, isiphetho sakhe asizange sisuse ifa lakhe. Isithunzi “seNkosazana yaseJalimane” saqhubeka nokusabalala ezindabeni zakamuva, emisebenzini nasezifundweni, saba umlingiswa ocishe abe yinganekwane owayebonisa ubuhlakani bobugebengu kanye nokugxekwa okungabonakali komphakathi okwakunganikezeli izindlela ezimbalwa zomthetho kwabesifazane abanesifiso esikhulu.
UMary Carleton njengombhali wezincwadi namasiko
Izifundo zanamuhla zesiko lekhulu le-17 zigcizelele ukuthi uMary Carleton wayengaphezu nje kwesigebengu esidumile. Abacwaningi abaningi bambheka njengohlobo oluthile lwe- isandulela senoveli yesiNgisi, ngomqondo wokuthi impilo yakhe yalandiswa, yabhalwa kabusha futhi yaqanjwa ngezindlela eziningi, kwalindelwa izici zendaba yanamuhla.
Amapheshana kanye nezincwadi zomlando ezingezindaba eziqanjiwe ezavela eduze kwakhe—kufaka phakathi izinguqulo azibhala yena ngokwakheBahlanganisa imicimbi yangempela nemihlobiso yezincwadi, bethula ingxoxo, izigcawu zemidlalo, kanye nezincazelo zengqondo. Konke lokhu kwaba negalelo ekudaleni umlingiswa oyinkimbinkimbi, endaweni ethile phakathi kweqhawekazi elimangalisayo kanye noyisiwula esihlakaniphile.
Ngokwesimanje, uqhathaniswa nezibalo ezifana nalezi: abaculi banamuhla abakhohlisayo nabazenzisi, kuhlanganise no-Anna Delveyowasebenzisa nobunikazi obungamanga ukuhamba emibuthanweni yamandla nokunethezeka. Ukuphindaphinda “kweNkosazana yaseJalimane” kuzwakala ekuthakaselekeni kwamanje kwalabo abaguqula imilando yabo ukuze bakhuphukele ezingeni lomphakathi.
Ezingeni lemfundiso, indaba yabo iye yasebenza ekuboniseni ukuthi Umuntu angazakha njengomlingiswaUMary akagcinanga nje ngokusungula ubuwena obubodwa, kodwa obuningana, futhi wabuvikela phambi kwabahluleli, abafundi, kanye nabantu abaya eshashalazini. Lokhu kuphindaphinda kumbeka endaweni yokuqala yohlobo lomuntu obhaliwe—umkhohlisi, umgibeli wezinto ezimangalisayo, isela elihlakaniphile—elabe seliba nohlu olude lwezincwadi zaseYurophu.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, icala lakhe laphikiswa kakhulu umbono wendima yabesifazane eNgilandi yekhulu le-17Ngesikhathi imithetho yokuhlala ndawonye yayivumela indoda ukuba ibe ngumnikazi wempahla yomfazi, futhi lapho umshado wawuyindlela eyodwa kuphela yokuphepha komnotho kowesifazane, uMary wasebenzisa umshado njengendawo yokulwa, echitha umqondo wawo wendabuko.
Phakathi kwesisulu kanye nomkhohlisi: ukungaqondakali “kweNkosazana yaseJalimane”
Esinye sezici ezithakazelisa kakhulu ngoMary Carleton ukungaqondakali abonakaliswe ngakho phakathi namakhulu eminyaka. Eminye imibhalo imveza njengo isigebengu esihlakaniphile kakhulu, owasebenzisa ngokungaziphathi kahle ukwethenjwa abanye kanye nezifiso zomphakathi zezisulu zakhe.
Nokho, ezinye izindaba zigcizelela isimo sayo owesifazane owavukela uhlelo olungalingani ngokupheleleKule ncazelo, ukukhohlisa kwakhe kungaba, okungenani ngokwengxenye, impendulo yomyalo owamphika ukuzimela kwakhe kwezomnotho futhi wamhlisela ezikhundleni ezingaphansi kwakhe, ohlala uqondiswa ngumuntu wesilisa.
Imibhalo ebhalwe nguMary uqobo iqinisa lobu budlelwano. Ngezinye izikhathi uvezwa njengowesifazane othukuthele okufanele avikele udumo lwakhe emikhankasweni yokumhlambalaza; ngezinye izikhathi, wembula ukwaneliseka okucishe kube yinto yokudlala ngekhono alawula ngalo abahluleli, amadoda, kanye nezimbangi. Umsulwa futhi unobuqili, isisulu kanye nombulali.
Lokhu kungabaza kube yisihluthulelo sokuqhubeka kwesithakazelo kumuntu wakhe. UMary Carleton ubonisa ukungezwani phakathi kobuntu “obusemthethweni”—obufunwa umphakathi—nobuntu “obuqanjiwe”, obudalwa umuntu ukuze asinde noma achume. Impilo yakhe iyisibonelo esibi kakhulu sokuthi ubunikazi obusebenzayo bungaba kanjani., indima edlalwa phambi kwezilaleli ezifisa ukukholelwa ezindabeni ezithile.
Ekugcineni, “iNkosazana yaseJalimane” yahamba esikhaleni esiphakathi phakathi kweqiniso nenganekwane, phakathi komlando wempilo kanye nenoveli, phakathi kwedokhumenti yezomthetho kanye nencwajana evusa imizwa. Ifa lakhe lihlala njalo ngoba wayehlala kuzo zonke lezo zindawo ezimpungaukuphoqa labo abamgwebayo – izolo nanamuhla – ukuba bazibuze ukuthi yini engokoqobo nokuthi yini emelelayo empilweni yanoma yimuphi umuntu.
Indaba kaMary Carleton, kusukela ekuzalweni kwakhe okuphansi eCanterbury kuya ekufeni kwakhe elenga esigxotsheni ngemva kokuphila impilo yokukhohlisa, imishado engabazekayo, ukuxoshwa kanye nokubuya ngasese, idweba isithombe sowesifazane owayekwazi ukuguqula umhlaba ube yisiteji sakhe. Indaba yakhe ikhombisa ukuthi ukuhlakanipha, amakhono okubuka, kanye nokukwazi ukukhuluma kahle kungaba kanjani izikhali ezinamandla njengoba kuyingozi.ikakhulukazi uma zisetshenziswa ukuphonsela inselelo, ukuxhaphaza, noma ukudlula imithetho yomphakathi othanda ukubukeka kanye nesikhundla.
