The moral dilemma that Dana faces is that should she kill Rufus or should she just keep him alive. If Dana were to keep Rufus alive her life could be in danger. On the other hand if she were to kill him she could be safe there and not have the fear of Rufus sexually abusing her. Assuming that Dana kills Rufus and saves her own life, she would put all the slaves that are on Rufus’s plantation in danger. The slaves would be separated from their families and children will be separated from their parents. I personally believe that Dana should kill Rufus because she needs to keep herself safe. Kevin is not there to protect her anymore so she has to do whatever it takes to keep herself alive. If she keeps Rufus alive she could be killed or raped.
