I enjoyed researching Lewis, he is an interesting character. The theme here is contradictions during this time and I will have two more characters whose story show contradictions in the times of what you might assume to be the case versus the reality of the situation. The way that Lewis was remembered I thought was a very interesting contradiction to what he actually stood for.
I thought it was super interesting that there was a reference to Cinderella in one of the newspaper clips about Lewis and that the description was so visual: "Not withstanding his weight, he is extremely active, and can if he chooses skip up the Capitol steps with the agility of Cinderella in her glass slippers."
I, of course, think of the animated Disney cartoon but that wouldn't be the frame of reference for 1842.
Yes. That was an interesting comparison lol! And to be honest I have to say from the cartoons he looks like a striking guy! If they ever made a movie about these times he would he a good one to include. This era is fascinating to me.
