The Argument for Hawkeye

Posted by Suzie on July 26, 1998 at 13:46:25:

I was wondering if anyone else had thoughts on the scene where Cora is arguing with Duncan and her father over releasing Hawkeye after he was arrested for sedition. My thoughts are that in that period, (18th century) a daughter wouldn't speak to her father that way, and her father would not be so sensitive to her thoughts. In the movie, I find it important that she stands up for Hawkeye the way she does, and I especially like the part where she tells Duncan off after he says that she has become "infatuated with him."
