Create a 5 pages page paper that discusses the way catholic missionary work is presented in the letters of marie de l’incarnation and in the comments of frances brooke. These contrasts can be observed in early works of Canadian literature such as the letters of Marie de l’Incarnation and Frances Brookes character Lieutenant Colonel Ed Rivers. While Marie represents a nun from the Ursuline order and an actual person, the Colonel is a fictional character from the works of Frances Brookes that had been shaped around the lives of actual people in contemporary Canadian society. The backgrounds of the works and the backgrounds of their authors will serve as important indicators along with the works to decipher how their views on Catholic missionary work differ. Marie de l’Incarnation decided to dedicate her life to missionary work in the new world after the death of her husband and the period following it. Marie managed her brother in law’s business in France for quite some time after her husband’s death but eventually she chose to serve God. In this endeavor she left her eleven year old son in the care of her sister and joined the Ursuline monastery in Tours. Rising through the ranks Marie volunteered to go to Canada and there she worked with the Native American Indians who she often referred to as “savages”. Marie’s only reason for coming to Canada was doing missionary work and she strived to “win souls to Jesus” (Marshall 75).
