Mary Rowlandson verses Anne Bradstreet
Mary Rowlandson and Anne Bradstreet were two different women both having strong religious beliefs. Their strong Puritan values allowed them to survive the rigorous struggles that they endured in their lives. Mary Rowlandson’s struggles include her captivity by the Indians where she was removed from her family except from her ailing daughter. Anne struggled with her faith and her acceptance as a writer, since colonial women were generally not allowed to be scholars. Although their struggles were unique to their situations, both women expressed themselves and overcame their difficulties through their similar faiths.Mary Rowlandson strongly relied on her faith of God to survive her ordeal during her period of captivity by the Indians. Rowlandson, the wife of a minister, was one of twenty-four townspeople taken captive when the Indians ransacked the town of Lancaster in 1675. During her captivity she depended upon a Bible that she had found that an Indian had left behind. Her eventual redemption and reunification with her surviving children and husband affirmed her faith in the providence of her God. Rowlandson believed that God was punishing his people for breaking their special covenant
