Cora Munro

Cora Munro is the older daughter of Colonel Munro and a dark-skinned woman from the West Indian Islands, who died as a young man. Cora also has Alice's half-sister, with whom they are staying in New England, to visit their father, but upon arrival, they knew that a war has begun between France and England. Subsequently, she and her sister fall into dangerous adventures, where Cora, in fact, was the main engine of the plot.

And it is interesting that Cora is a famous mythological name, which has already become an archetype. Cora is the Eternal Maiden, the eternal symbol of beauty, purity, virginity. In the novel, the same mythological situation repeats itself several times-the abductions of the Virgin-Cori and her release.

As for the qualities of character, Kora appears in the novel as a wise, caring, patient, meek, angry and vulnerable girl. By the way, a few observations can be made regarding her obedience. When after the second attempt to release her, Magua refuses all conditions and favorable offers to exchange her and reserves the right to own Cora, the latter, like a meek slave, follows him. But after all, Cora was ready to kill herself, just to not let Magua realize what he was planned, and only love for Alice warned her against such a step.

And yet, in the world of the novel, Cora Munro is destined to die anyway, perhaps because the prospect of an interracial marriage between her and Uncas is impossible. Since Cora is half African American.
