<br/><br/> Abstract :<br/>This work examines Slavery and the Pursuit of Freedom in Frederick Douglass' the Heroic Slave. The work examines the self determination that Madison Washington demonstrates in the pursuit of freedom. In addition to that it includes self sacrifice and compassion at the center of madison's determination. The work also stipulates the role of white abolitionists in the pursuit of freedom. Madison Washington shows us the role of Mr. Listwell, a white abolitionist of Ohio who helped him by giving him shelter helping him to escape to Canada in carriage and proteced him from hunger and cold. This work is written on the theoretical framework of new Historicism and the conclusion is that savage treatment undergone by Madison Washington urged him to resistance and Freedom.
