    One of the most common forms of punishment slaves had to suffer through was whipping, such as the one Douglass witnessed, where his aunt, Esther, was cruelly flogged. This was one of the first major events that made him question why things were the way they were. Following the flogging of Esther, he starts to see it more often, like in the cases of Nelly and Denby, where extreme force and cruelty were used.
