Dr. Flint lusts over his slave, Linda, and repeatedly attempts to coerce her into a sexual relationship. The control of her body is used as a threat against her, as she fears a rape, fears that her only control over Flint, her body, will be taken away. Dr. Flint verbally rapes her by saying he has control over her as he is her master and that he will sell her children and kill her if she does not submit, if she does not become his sexual slave. Linda then uses her own womb as a weapon or a defense mechanism as she engages in sexual relationship with Mr. Sands and becomes pregnant. She takes control of her body and denies Dr. Flint her virginity and sexuality. She uses her pregnancy as a method of escape, and frees herself from sexual slavery by using her sexual wiles.

The female body is marked has an empty vessel. Something that is displayed as having no moral values and diffently no rights.The body is an instruement of pleasures and labor. It also gave status in a system essentially rooted in Slavery. Given a monetary value yet its soul purpose was to control. A (C) format. Beaten down, abused, eliminated as to be put out to barns as animals. The body was lusted after at any age to prenate in "Incidents". Soul purpose was to control her emotions, thoughts, and entire existance. The female is looked upon as property.This is parallel to the felmales representation of the white mistress. The fate of the slave womans body is death with many internal and external acts of gratuitous cruelty. This image is still enbated today in many of the felmale minds as to the degradation of all women being made into sexual objects. To be victims of vilonce in the public sphere and in the domestic sphere.
