Mary Rowlandson's Memoirs The Sovereignty and Goodness of God was truly a compelling, comprehensive, and praiseworthy piece of literature. Rowlandson, not only recalled a chapter of her life, but she gave a solid insight into the circumstances during the Metacom War, being a minister's wife, a puritanical and pious woman, she tells us about her journey with the Indians Without any hesitation, she tells the journey that. she lived and in the following essay I will talk about parts of her journey and the significance of religion in her life Mary Rowlandson was a Puritan Puritans are very strict and believe in almost the same values ​​that the major monotheistic religions believe in, for example, the. hell, they give credit to God for everything; , and look to God for answers and help. This speaks to practically every single voice that Rowlandson brings forward in his memoir. He constantly and with much admiration quotes the Bible and this shows the intensity of the situation he was facing and his constant confidence. in God. “The next day was the Sabbath, I then… his presence forever” (remove #2), as one might assume, Rowlandson very faithfully makes himself guilty despite losing much of his family. The innocence and thoughtfulness that comes out of this particular statement says every single thing about her, the fact that she is serious about who she is and the depth of her religious self. Religion has greatly influenced her and her family's lived experience because while she continually justifies the situation she finds herself in, the Bible shapes her story. “I know, O Lord, that…you have afflicted me” (remove #11) and “Shall there be evil in a city and the Lord hath not done it?” (Remove #15). From what I understand Rowlandson is sure that she is where... in the center of the card... ip. Mary Rowlandson's reign during this difficult phase of her life was truly extraordinary. It was a blessing in disguise because while she was a prisoner, she had nothing but God to rely on and Rowlandson overcame it all. There were many themes present in this book but the one that struck me most was that of reflection. In removal no. 20, near the end she says she's basically gone back and forth from good to bad. From almost starving to being in good health or being with her family in one case or another she was forced to give in to her captives and embark on a painful journey. It makes us think about the things we take for granted. But the element of surprise always strikes when we are most vulnerable. She had to face religion because the Bible and the endless stories it contained were a source of comfort to her.
