ESSAY ON: Cooper/Last of the Mohicans

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: A 3 page essay that examines the role of Duncan Heyward in James Fenimore Cooper's Last of the Mohicans. The character of the Major Duncan Heyward, new to the States and very English, provides Cooper with a means of making these points. Through Heyward, Cooper illustrates that many of the values of Europe do not transfer well to the New World. While Heyward may have been suited to military service as practiced in Europe, in the New World, he is inept, a danger to himself and others. It is through Heyward that Cooper is able to present his argument that the US is not Europe--this is a whole new ballgame and the rules have changed. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
