Mrs. Rowlandson s extreme is that of acceptance. She comes to a point in her life when she faces a decision between death and reforming her identity.

Her extreme is that of rejection. She comes to a point in her life in which she can no longer conform to her husband s culture. These two women s new perspectives are formed in different manners. And these manners also persuade the women to react in different ways. Mary Rowlandson s narrative shows her transformation from a preacher s wife into a survivor.
