The feeling of love for a slave is quite different than the one's of a "normal" human being. Slaves have so many restrictions put on them, they are basically considered as property and their emotions don't affect anyone. Even if a slave loved someone that love wouldn't matter much because it would be taken away from them very fast. This is exactly what happened to Linda. Linda loved a free slave but he was unfortunately taken from her by her master Mr. Flint. In my opinion this is an extremely sad thing. Slaves had a horribly difficult life to start out with and in plus they couldn't even find true love.
The restrictions placed upon slaves deeply affects this emotion. I believe it makes the emotion stronger in them though because they can't let it out. Although it is extremely depressing for slaves in general, as well as Linda to not be able to make their love come true.

I agree with what you said eliott that when a certain feeling is repressed by someone it almost automatically becomes stronger.
good post.
Good blog I really understand what you are describing and are saying. I agree with that it was horrible slaves couldn't ever find their true love due to all the restrictions.
