Hi

I'm just watchng this on tv at the moment...

I'm a bit confused as to who fathers Charlotte as I missed the first 10 minutes. Mary was already pregnant when she was taken in by the officer. can anyone shed any light?

The father was a prison guard when she was first jailed in England. She mentions him briefly to one of her fellow prisoners below deck. Says something like, "It was sleep with him or starve."

no i think charlotte's father was a prison guard who Mary had to sleep with because she said <it was either share his bed or starve> and she needed the money for her family.

Hi,

I think Mary was either raped or exchanged sex for food whilst in prison in England before boarding the ship. This was a bit of a mystery for me to at one point. i watched it a few days ago in the UK.

I was watching it the other day, and she said a prison guard forced himself upon her.
Or something like that -shrugs-
