"A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson" is the first captivity narrative in Puritan literature, here she uses biblical references to talk about the eleven weeks that she spent captive, and she sees those weeks as test from God, a kind of punishment she has to pass through in order to enforce her faith Rowlandson began to see compassion and kindness by the people she labeled as merciless heathens. She was never harmed by her captors, in fact, she was just asked to sew clothes for them and as soon as the payment that was requested was paid they set her free.
