The poem shows another point of view that Pocahontas may have had. The Pocahontas story told to children is romanticized and does not give as much of an accurate description. It gives a personal response to the destruction of life. Using this poem in a freshman class will not only teach them about poetry, but also about the impact the English had on the Native Americans. The poem has a lot of meaning and historical reference. This represents how the Native Americans sacrificed a lot and ended up dying off, while the white people survived and took over the land. He took so much from her and she ended up dying in the end, while he survived. She mentions that she knew what the goal of the white people was the entire time, but still supported him. She held him in her arms and listened to his faithfulness to the king and God. In the poem, Pocahontas explains that she has done so much for her husband and saw him as hopeless as she took care of him. Many names that she calls him in the poem, such as "oh beloved" and "my fair husband" give the idea that she loves him, but the lines of the poem make it sound like she is bitter towards him. She is constantly saving him and teaching him ways to survive. In the poem, she tells John that he is foolish for being loyal to England. Her husband saw her as a child and did not respect her opinion. This poem portrays Pocahontas as a strong and powerful women that was betrayed by her husband. The narrator of this poem is a Native American named Pocahontas, who directs her words towards her English husband, John.
