Last of the Mohicans

A detailed Summary of Last of the Mohicans


James Cooper was a great writer, and very talented with descriptions. This would explain the enormous detail the movie involves, and the powerful views the movie shares with its audiences. The characters consisted of the typical "majors" and "minors." The "majors" included Nathaniel or "Hawkeye," as he's referred to in the movie, Chincagook, the father, Uncas, the last of the Mohican tribe, the Huron warriors (antagonists), Mogua (Leader of the antagonists), and the British officer Duncan and the Colonel Munro, who commanded Fort William Henry.

I really can't see wasting time summarizing all ten scenes. I can't remember that much detail to work out all that. Basically, I'm going to give my summary of it. It opens with Nathaniel and his father, and Uncas running through the woods, seemly pointless until Nathaniel brings up his rifle and kills the Elk they were chasing, giving the scene an actual point, though,


a shot of what they were chasing would have made the scene much more interesting. It then goes to the cabin in the wilderness frontier, where they talk with a local militiaman about the British and French battles.

Following the trail, Nathaniel, Chincagook and Uncas found the girls to a Huron village, in which Nathaniel encountered a little bit of trouble entering. But enter he did, and he finally made it to the elder, who was listening to Mogua's speech. After hearing both sides, it was decided that Mogua would take Munro's youngest daughter as his wife, Duncan would go back to the British, and that Munro's oldest daughter would burn in the Huron fire. Duncan pleaded and was traded for Karen, but Mogua had already taken Cora and left. There was a battle on a cliff, and Uncas was killed, after which, the girl he loved stepped off and died as well. Chincagook came in at a sprint with Nathaniel clearing a path for him and killed Mogua sw
