In regards to "incidents in the life of a slave girl," the objective correlative for the situation of slavery is Linda Brent's imprisonment in her grandmother's attic. The restriction to her physical body reflects her emotional state of being in being trapped in the physical and mental oppression of slavery. Her seven years in the attic was a physically and mentally damaging situation, in which her escape from slavery actually in a sense crippled her. She was entrapped, enslaved, concealed, and degraded. The darkness of slavery was actually reflected in the physical domain of her attic prison. The oppression thar Linda suffered at the hands of Dr. Flint was only furthered in 3x7x9 space that she barely survived. The attic provided only subhuman conditions, just as slavery treated her as a subhuman.
