ooh definitely! i’d thought of the second point, but i’d never considered the first one! also it’s probably worth mentioning that scott knows that eme is right here – given what he says to eleanor in the next episode (”i belong to you”) and his secret role as king of the maroon island
Another “Oglethorpe’s plantation = slavery” argument… Eme: “How many times must you have told yourself that you’re special? That your master thinks you’re different from the rest?” That’s what Oglethorpe does. Says he treats his prisoners differently, that he’s been kinder to them than other people. Eme: “When they put you in these [chains], they don’t mean to let you go”. It’s exactly what that place is: “Men who enter these gates never leave them”.
