how gender affected the slaves
In the movie as I concluded being a female slave was hard than a male.In this case in the movie a girl named Platsey has to deal with working hard, rape from her master and hate from her masters wife.She has a very hard time surviving because she gets beat up and abused by her masters wife bacause she thinks that her husband likes Platsey better than her.In the movie when Epps wife bakes brownies for the slaves she doesn't let Platsey have any. This is a way to show her how much she hates her .Platsey gets punished for something she doesn't do.She works harder than all the other slaves but she is still punished.
