In the story “As It Was the
Beginning” we can clearly witnessed that Father Paul discriminated Esther. Esther
and Laurence really love each other but he brain washed his nephew and
convinced Laurence to stay away from ester just because she is a daughter of
pagan mother. For me, Father Paul’s reasons were unreasonable. No one can
change a person, but someone can be a person’s reason to change.
I totally disagree how Father Paul
convinced Laurence to leave Esther because he is a racist. Just because Esther
is a red skin Indian woman, used to live in a cone shape tepee and came from
the poor family of pagan, he thinks that it would be a shame for his nephew to
marry a woman like Esther. It is not an option to judge a person by his
appearance or where she comes from. We should be sensitive and considerate in
other’s feeling.
I believe that Esther would be able to
change her personality, and forget all the things where she came from if Father
Paul let her to continue her relationship with Laurence. She can’t accept that
the man she loves will marry other woman. Therefore, she did kill Laurence
cause of her selfishness. If Father Paul gave Esther a chance to prove that she
can change, she might not have determination to poisoned Laurence.
Esther is just a normal woman too. She
deserves to be given a chance to prove what she can do. She came from a poor
pagan family but it does not mean that she can’t change her beliefs in life .It
is important to be concerned in other’s feelings. We should stop discriminating
people especially when they are from a poor family.
