: In the first Cameron's cabin scene, Alexandria [Alexandra?] ask's-
: "Why is Uncas with you. He should have settled with a woman & started a family by now". I always wondered why her focus was on Uncas in this regard. I mean, isn't Hawkeye the one who should have settled by now? He is the older one. And also, should either of them have settled with a family, does that mean that they would no longer trap? Any opinions here? By the way, I just love the expression on Chingachgook's face after she say's that. He tells all with that look. So endearing. Kathy
Kathy,
Maybe she was thinking along the lines of Uncas being the last of his line and perhaps he should have gotten married and started having kids so he would no longer be the last of the mohicans. Perhaps she thought that Hawkeye would not marry since he seemed to be such a free spirit and didn't seem to find alot of time for romance. Then again, no of them really did. Lynne
