Magua was taken slave by the Mohawks. He became a blood brother to him in order to be free, but in his heart he would always be a Huron. Magua hated Colonel Munro, father of Cora and Elizabeth. He planned to kill them and once they were dead, Magua's heart would be whole again.
Magua, a character from James Fenimore Cooper's novel "The Last of the Mohicans," proposes to Cora Munro to marry him. He seeks to win her affection and loyalty, offering her a chance to escape the horrors of war and the constraints of her current life. However, his proposal is rooted in his desire for revenge against her father, Colonel Munro, and reflects the complex dynamics of love, power, and cultural conflict in the story. Cora ultimately rejects his advances, asserting her loyalty to her own heritage and values.
When Cora refused for the second time to become Magua's wife, he became enraged and threatened to kill her. Heyward intervened and attacked Magua to protect her. This confrontation led to a violent scuffle between Heyward and Magua, with Uncas eventually coming to their aid and saving them.
