Quote #4
[…] all your lands, and dwellings, and cattle of all kinds
Forfeited be to the crown; and that you yourselves from this province
Be transported to other lands. God grant you may dwell there
Ever as faithful subjects, a happy and peaceable people!
Prisoners now I declare you; for such is his Majesty's pleasure!' (436-440)
Boom—here is your one-stop injustice shop. Just because it "pleases" the king, the Acadians lose everything. This is the central injustice of the poem, one that never really seems to be fixed.
Quote #5
Meekly she bowed her own, and murmured, 'Father, I thank thee!' (1380)
This ending is a bit of a noodlescratcher. Do you think Evangeline finally experiences justice at the end, even though Gabriel up and dies on her in like 15 seconds? Or does the fact that she saw him again in life make up for the past injustices that were done to her? How you answer those questions will really color your reading of the whole poem.
