본문내용

The overall structure gives a unity of plot movement, which progresses chronologically from day to day. Likewise unity of place is observed in that all the action occurs in the frontier area around Lake George and the headwaters of the Hudson River in New York State. The unity of time is compact, the total action occurring over a period of days from late July to mid-August in 1757.

In the film “The last of the Mohicans” how the Native Americans, British and French interacted. These different cultures/races interact in Negative and Positive ways.
EX1: ) In French and Indian war the native Americans fought against the British. It was hard to find alliances/friends and partners in this time. They both didn’t like the British so they teamed up against the British. This was a clash because the Native Americans and French fought together which means that because of this, they both had the British on their backs. I believe the director viewed this as Native Americans and French having something in common (Disliking the British) and making an alliances behind it.
