Many historians have argued that the hit nineteenth-century play Metamora; or The Last of the Wampanoags by John Augustus Stone evoked aspects of the then-popular culture of the American Republic. For example, they suggest it highlighted hierarchal distinctions between “civilization” and “savagery,” and reinforced the dominant myth of the “vanishing” Indian. For this out-of-class assignment, read the provided Metamora excerpts, along with reading Jones and reviewing relevant lecture notes, and write an essay that affirms or rejects the above position. Your essay thus will use detailed evidence drawn from the play excerpts to support your argument whether Metamora stereotypes Native Americans as savages and Euro-Americans as civilized, along with if the play highlights the notion that Native Americans would inevitably vanish in the advance of Euro-American civilization. Pay Particular Attention to: ? The way Metamora speaks in relation to the Euro-Americans, as speech patterns often mark the savage and civilized ? The imagery of violence displayed by both sides throughout the play ? The themes of Metamora’s dramatic speeches, especially as the play reaches its climax. Requirements: ? About three typed pages ? Times New Roman, 12 point, double spaced, one-inch margins ? Direct quotes should be no longer than half a line ? MLA in-text parenthetical citations for direct quotes and paraphrased information, e.g., (Jones 14), (Stone 3) ? Responses should be well structured, and written in paragraph format ? Responses should be well argued, pulling convincing evidence from the play excerpts ? Responses should be well written, because grammar and spelling count if errors impact reading comprehensibility
