Through the comparison of god and the king, Wheatley depicts god as a figure of security, power and kindness. lee126332_2 https://padlet.com/lee126332_2/p7eprfzsq48iud8l/wish/2418553342 To the King's Most Excellent Majesty. 1768]]> 2022-12-13 01:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lee126332_2/p7eprfzsq48iud8l/wish/2418553342 Wheatley compares William Legge to a messiah, a saviour in the way Jesus was for ending tyrannical rule. In this way, she uses Christianity as an allegory to being an antithesis to slavery. William is 'better' than the rest of humanity in this way he uses his power, therefore comparable to Jesus. heng108581_2 https://padlet.com/lee126332_2/p7eprfzsq48iud8l/wish/2418556548 William Legge]]> 2022-12-13 01:22:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lee126332_2/p7eprfzsq48iud8l/wish/2418556548
