Picture 7 Dundas
: “Doesn’t he know what dangerous await anyone who talk sense in this place?”
William Pit : “Oh, I think he’s equal to the dangerous.”
00: 10: 27 The dialogue above, still informs that Wilberforce was a brave man.
William Pit statement means that Wilberforce was ready to face the consequences from what he said. The picture above indicated that Dundas sat in front of William
pit and they looked serious. The following dialogue in the garden informs Pit’s first opinion about the
slavery:
Picture 8 William Pit
: “The Principle of Christianity lead to action as well as meditation”
Wilberforce : “Allow me to meditation on it before I decide on any
action” William Pit
: “Just think about this, Wilber. The slave trade has 3 00 MPs in its pocket. It would be just you against them. But
you could do it. You would do it.”
00: 28: 2
The dialogue above shows that he asked Wilber to fight the slavery. He said that in Christianity man must do well between action and meditation. The
dialogue took at the beginning of the story, and William Pit still encouraged his best friend to against the slavery. Wilberforce very committed to abolish the
slaves trade, and he never changed his opinion about slavery trade. The picture above, Wilberforce and William pit talked in the garden near with William’s
house. They talked serious. The scene in the House of Commons shows that he is the protagonist:
Picture 9 Wilberforce: “I’m speaking of the slaves trade. I now that many of my
honorable friends in this house have interest in the Indies. Others have investment in plantations. Others are ship
owners. And I believe them to be men of humanity. I believe you all to be men of humanity. If the wretchedness of any of
the many hundreds of slaves stowed in their ship could be brought to view…” The members Protested drown out
Wilberforce.
00: 45: 20 In that dialogue, Wilberforce had a plan to destroy his own country. He
also told if there were no slavery, the French would replace English position in the world, becoming the most super power country. He also said without the slavery
there would not plantations. In that picture, William Wilberforce was stand up and
talked to all the Member of parliaments and they weren’t interest with William voice, more over most of the Member of Parliament instructed to desist.
5. Principle Man
The fifth, he was a principle man. Although he was the most radical man among his friends in defeating the parliament members, he was still loyal to the
king. He was a radical man because he was the bravest member in showing his opinion about the slaves trade in the House of Commons. His characters can be
known from the conversation between Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson in the palace yard:
Picture 10 Wilberforce
: “You talk about revolution as if it were a safe thing.” Thomas
: “It’s just a word.” Wilberforce
: “Everyday we change things, by degrees, education, factories.”
Thomas : “By degrees, you sound like Dundas Gradually”
Wilberforce : “An imperfect order’s better than no order.”
Thomas : “We must fight for a perfect order.”
Wilberforce : “I’ve pledge an allegiance to the king.”
Thomas : “You know as well as I do the King is insane. He shakes
hands with oak trees and claims he can see Germany through his telescope. I know you have your loyalties,
Wilberforce, but underneath it you’re more radical than any of us. You see, you never doubt you’re right. What say of
the slave is true of the worker in the field, the weaver, the miner. Shouldn’t they be free to prosper too?” 01: 08: 48
The dialogue between Thomas and Wilberforce above, shows that he did not want to do the revolution in England. He said that he wanted to abolish the
slaves trade by peace way. He was loyal to the King because he had pledge not to crack the crown. From the Picture above, Wilberforce held a paper, and the other
person was bussy also.
6. Hard Worker and Committed Man
The sixth, he was had worker, and a committed man. William Wilberforce was very energetic against the slave trade. He didn’t want to surrender to fight
against the slavery. He was also like usual man who could feel fatigue of problem sometimes. This scene below in the bedroom proves it.
Picture 11 Henry
: “Wilberforce, are you alright? Sit up for me. Here drinks this giving a glass of water. What happened?”
Wilberforce : “I read James’ letter from Jamaica. When I fell asleep, it
was as if I were living inside it.” Henry
: “Perhaps the laudanum the doctor gave you is badly mixed.”
Wilberforce : “I know the effects of opium, Henry. This isn’t the
medication.” Henry
: “What then?” Wilberforce
: “I was chosen for this and I failed some part of me does not accept the idea that I’ve given up.”
Henry : “I’ll dilute this.”
Wilberforce : “Can you dilute what I feel?”
Henry : “You’ve given your youth and your health for this cause.
It’s time to let someone else try.”
00: 36: 03
William Wilberforce’s character can be recognized as a hard worker, very committed, and also like usual human by what he had done for passing the slavery
trade abolition bill. He sacrificed his life and health for the case. The picture
above showed william that woke up and looked restless and feared in his face. His uncle tried persuit him to calm and gave a medicine.
This scene below is taken in the living room when Wilberforce talked to Barbara about his contribution:
Picture 12 Wilberforce : “All that winter, we spread out across the country gathering
evidence for parliament. Thomas road to Bristol, Liverpool, Plymouth, talking to man who had worked the slave ships,
ships doctors who had treated them, slaves themselves who had been whipped and branded. Equiano published his
account of his years as a slave. He had sold 50.000 copies in two months.”
00: 54: 15 The dialogue above, informs that Equiano published his book that talked
about his life experience as a slave. The book could tell that the English slavery was truly worst. Besides, the scene also informs that he was one of Wilber’s
supporters. The statement informs that Thomas Clarkson went around the country to ask the people to sign the petition. He had collected 390.000 signatures. He did
it during the winter. In other line we found the involvement of William
