The war novel “The Last of the Mohicans” contains a deep morale in itself. It teaches people that courage is the best solution to fear. Any problems that a person faces can be overcome, and it only takes one step to it-courage.

The characters exhibit courage in many different circumstances. The
novel follows three men traveling through the woods. Two of them are
Mohican Indians, Chingachgook and his son Uncas, and the other is a
white man raised by the Indians, Hawkeye. One day these men encounter
a caravan of English soldiers led by Major Duncan Hayward. This
caravan is in charge of escorting Colonel Munro’s daughters, Alice and
Cora, to Fort William Henry where their father is. When the three
Mohicans encounter the group they decide that they will help lead the
English to the Fort, but what they do not know is that the evil Magua
is out to get them, this fact leads to an endless chase.

Through this long game of chase many of these characters exhibit a
great deal of courage. Cora overcomes many fears that one would not
believe she could handle. When the group decides to hide in a dark
cave as being traced by the Hurons, Cora does not seem alarmed by
this, “‘is then our danger so pressing’” . At one point in the
novel Magua captures her sister and Cora is left with a decision to
make, surrender herself to the enemy to be with her sister or to run
away, “notwithstanding the horror excited by the presence of her
captorshe took her seatand held forth her arms for her sister”.
Cora knows that she must take care of her sister. At the end of
the novel Cora is captured by Magua and is being dragged along as he
is trying to escape the Mohicans, and Cora knows that she must stop.
She exclaims to the Magua that she, “will go no fartherkill me if thy
wilt detestable HuronI will go no farther”.

Although Magua is an evil character, he shows both moral and physical
courage. Magua has a strong moral courage, even after he is struck by
Hawkeye; he does not stop trying, “turning a relentless look on his
enemyhe shook a hand in grim defiance”. He knows that he must
not give up. His morals are not good, but he believes strongly in
them, “while he was making this ostensible sacrifice to general
considerationsMagua never lost sight of his individual motives”.

He does not let things stand on his way or change his mind; he
will hold close to his morals not matter what. This is what keeps him
from being defeated, he is extremely, and physically, courageous and
will not stop fighting until he is defeated, but unfortunately for
him, he is overcome by Hawkeye and his courageousness finds a quick
ending.

Uncas shows a great deal of courage in the novel as well, even though
bullets are flying over his head Uncas does not lose his concentration
and keeps paddling on. Most of Uncas’ courageous strength is due to
his physical qualities, he is determined to rescue Cora, and will not
give up. He often illustrates, through courage, a superhuman quality
that ultimately leads him to death, but he lacks courage in the moral
aspect. Uncas is a strong and courageous man, and he is determined
that he will never fail in what he tries to do, even if it leads him
to death.

Through out the length of the novel Hawkeye exhibits all three acts of
courage, expressed in three different ways, inner, physical, and
moral, and it would take all three of these acts to be able to leave
off the land. He has a strong and brave soul that allows him to do
this, he is confident in himself and his actions too.

All of these characters exhibit much strength in the inner, physical
and moral aspect. Cora, Magua, and Uncas, all show courage in
different ways, but lack in others. Hawkeye on the other hand shows
courageous acts abound. It seems like Cooper made the main character
of the novel the most courageous, because of all of the problems that
he faces, not only does Hawkeye have to face them but he also
overcomes them. He is strong at heart and body, which allows him to
overcome difficulties. With The Last of the Mohicans Chingachgook, the
Indian is meant. He and his son Uncas are the last of the tribe of the
Mohicans, and after Uncas was murdered Chingachgook was the last of
the Mohicans.

I pulled a chair up and sat on it. Titi was sitting directly opposite me, her skirt hitched up just above her knees. I smiled at her as I tried not to fix my gaze on her partially exposed laps. She noticed this and crossed her legs, pulling the herm of the skirt to cover as much as it can go.

I looked away quickly in embarrassment.

“Ok! Tim, hit me with it” she said, forcing me to stare back at her. I grinned ruefully and cleared my throat.

“This is hard for me to say, but I know I have to say it.” I paused to let in air, and then continued. “I have done all the necessary espionage and I found out that your husband is behind all these.”
I watched as surprise crept into her face, and then disbelief.

“No!” she said, “I can’t belief this. My husband can’t hurt a fly.”

“Yeah,” I said “I thought so too, but people can change under pressure or intense need for something else.”

“But not Harry” she retorted, still obstinate.

“Titi Am sorry, but I have to let you see the evidence. I reached into my left trouser pocket and brought out a tape recording machine, placed it on the glass centre table and pressed the ‘play’ button.

There was a loud incoherent noise like swoosh of water coming from the cassette for a while, then it died down and her husband’s voice vibrated. It was clear.

“Yeah, go ahead with the plan, Robert, no turning back. My wife won’t know what hit her. There is so much money to gain. You have to kill her. I want her wealth for myself. The bitch .”

I made to stop the tape, but she held up her hand. Her face was glistening with unshed tears.

“The bitch” the voice continued, “won’t know I did it and so the police won’t suspect I had a hand in it.”

“Ok boss” a second voice answered.

There was another sound and then the tape stopped.

“How . Could he?” She stammered as long streaks of tears poured down her cheeks.

I brought out a white handkerchief and gave it to her. She took it with shaky hands and mobbed her cheeks tenderly.

“Am sorry” I didn’t recognize my own voice; it had gone husky with pity.

“But I don’t understand ” her voice trailed off “why would he want to kill me, he couldn’t live without me?”

“Well, one thing is for sure, you are wealthier than your husband, right?”
She nodded sheepishly.
“He is doing it for the money; you just heard that. He wants to inherit your wealth.”
I picked up the tape recorder and put it back in my pocket.
“What should I do?” she asked.
“Pretence - pretend you know nothing about this, ok?” I answered calmly. “Don’t jitter and don’t confront Harry. You have to behave normal like nothing is amiss.”
She nodded.
“Thanks Tim, nice job.” She smiled sorrowfully.
“Hmm, it’s nice to see you smile again. Put some make up and get rid of those tears marks on your face.” I rose to my feet and pushed back the chair. Five strides took me to the door, but as I was about to yank it upon I remembered something. I turned towards her and asked, “Do you still want me to keep track on your husband?”
“Ah ” she stammered, “I think so.”

I am a Nigerian and an avid reader who also take great pleasure in putting pen to paper. I believe that with the right expression of words written with my pen people could change for the better and correct or curb some ills eating deep into our system of government or life in general. Poverty and corruption have always being Africa’s most dreaded diseases and Nigeria is no exception. I write fiction and non-fiction and also write articles on any subject, especially that concerning the well-being of the poor masses. I wish to be an acclaimed writer and author and a motivational speaker
