Mr.Leckler first stroke me as a very interesting or even funny character.There are so many irony about this character. But then when I start to think more about this character I begin to wonder why the writer made him a"generous kind man" instead of a typical villain like most stories about slavery are. In addition to that, unlike most stories about slavery , I think the main character is not the slave who fought for his freedom but this interesting slave owner. I think when people think of slavery they sure would strongly condemn the cruelty and inhumanity of that. And that's pretty much all people think of. But what the writer offered is another view through the slave owner's eyes. We can see how he thinks and does being a slavery owner. Slavery was already a natural and reasonable thing to him and through lying to himself constantly he even made himself a saint to his slave. All the irony the writer put in just made the absurdity and unright of slavery more obvious.
