Douglass seeks to educate and, thus, advance society regarding the slave's plight through silent narration, while Jacobs' aim is to evoke the same in a decidedly more adamant fashion. Both narratives encompass the slaves' yearning to break free from prejudicial confines, yet they are also significantly individual in their approach. The writer compares the two slave narratives.
