Content Enable editor Use plain text Code entry Suleiman represents the need for human endorsement. He wants Charleston slaves to see him as a leader; he encourages them to strive for freedom. He wants Charleston English to see him as trustworthy; when the burning lady blames him, he accepts Father Le Jau's claims that he is the most loyal slave in the colony. He wants the Yamasee Indians to see him as a warrior. He wants the Spaniards to see him as an equal citizen. He wants the king to prove this by signing his freedom paper. he gets partial human endorsement, but it's never enough. He eventually sees that the king doesn't even see or sign papers, and even when he does, it easily gets ignored by Spaniards. It's all a mirage. When it comes out that he was the conspirator the lady screamed about, he has an identity crisis that he is not trustworthy after all - not to slaves or whites. He confesses this to the friar, who compares it to Jesus being innocently crucified for our freedom. Su's crisis erupts at Bloody Mose. He fights for the woman who burned and all the others who were killed seeking freedom. He purges his faith in mankind to save him.
