It was built by the British for their settlement and to keep slaves. Local people were captured by their own people and sold or exchange for goods. “The Dungeon” (p. 23) is the place where the slaves were kept in the castle whiles they wait to be ship out the country. It a dark place and very small. “The Door of No Return” (p. 23) is the door that open to the sea and the final door the slaves pass through to get the ship. As the name implies, no one who goes through that door ever came back. He also talks about how there is a controversy between the Christians and the traditionalist. The traditionalist has a shrine in the castile and celebrate every year the death of the slaves, but the Christian speak against it. It the Christian should allow the traditionalist to perform their ritual if that brings them satisfaction. This article will be a great tool for my paper.
