Being captured and removed from his family and homeland into a world of involuntary servitude as a teenager had to be frightening to say the least. He was physically and verbally abused from the beginning, did not understand the language or customs, and never knew when he would be the recipient of his masters wrath. It was portrayed that he was raised in an atmosphere of respect and dignity then thrust into a world where he was regarded and treated as worthless animal whose only purpose was to serve his tormentors.
