Answer:

He finds a way to escape his misery.

Slavery strips her of her innate beliefs and benevolent nature.

Step-by-step explanation:

In "My Bondage and My Freedom" by Frederick Douglass, he describes how he learned to read. Although the process of learning was difficult and complicated, once he was able to do so, his life changed for the better. He found a way to escape his misery, and to feel more human. This escape proved important for his future life.

In the case of Mrs. Auld, she is a victim of slavery because she is forced to be cruel and hard even though that is not her natural state. Encouraged by her husband, she is led to believe that being benevolent to the slaves is a cruelty, and in this way she loses her best qualities and her most basic beliefs.
