HW 03/31

What is the deal with Dr. Cameron about to bash in the head of his daughter, Margaret right before the Klan shows up? What fears about sex and intermixing are being referenced here, and where have we read about this before? Who else was about to get her head bashed in?
- Dr. Cameron, I suppose, thought he was saving his daughter by attempting to take her life by his own hand.
- The fear is that intermixing is an abomination to God, and that in doing so will bring about the eventual end of civilization due to bad breeding. Unintelligent offspring.
- Elise is about to have her head bashed in as well, but is saved.
What’s up with that final scene of a city on the hill, people living in paradise, and Jesus? What do you think Griffith is trying to say about a society where white supremacy is not only custom but the law?
- Griffith is trying to say that white supremacy is the law that God intends to have rule the Earth, and with that law will bring about a paradise that is the intended for us as a human race, and as a society.
