No-that’s what he fears, though, that someone in England may decide that instead of trying him for treason, it would be more cost-effective and less embarrassing to do to him what was done to Thomas. Ironically, his best chance for avoiding that is now to help them to get the terms of the treaty reworked and then throw himself on the mercy of the people he tried to stamp out. I’m big on redemption through fixing what you broke, and before you ask what the difference is between Rogers and Silver in that respect, I really don’t see Silver ever apologizing for what he did or being able to fix it if he were sorry because it’s just too big. Basically I think the difference is that we see Rogers being haunted by the consequences of his actions and apologizing to Eleanor whereas Silver very specifically says, “I’m not sorry,” and waits for Madi to come around to his way of thinking instead of acknowledging that he’s done anything wrong.
So rogers is are going to be sent in the plantation? Or to bedlam?
