In Chapter 2, the narrator and his sister are kidnapped, separated, briefly reunited, and parted again before he passes through several owners and reaches a slave ship. The voyage exposes him to extreme cruelty, sickness, and death, and the sale in Barbados prompts his direct attack on slavery’s destruction of family bonds.
