As a seasoned Outlander enthusiast who’s journeyed through the mists of time more times than I can count, let me tell you, Chapter 32 of The Scottish Prisoner is a gem! It’s like a fine Scottish single malt, aged to perfection and rich in flavor.
It’s time for the duel in The Scottish Prisoner Chapter 32. Jamie is there for John as it starts.
In this chapter, we witness a significant shift in the dynamic between John and Jamie. It appears to me that this is their pivotal moment. Previously distant, John now holds Jamie in high regard and aspires to alter his interactions with him. Conversely, Jamie has developed feelings for John.
The event of the duel is a huge moment, and we see how that friendship changes.
Breaking down The Scottish Prisoner Chapter 32
The break of day marks the time for the confrontation. Despite being sleepless, John finds solace in the fact that John Byrd, his supporter, has had a restful night and stands ready to aid him in the duel. This reassurance is bolstering for John. Additionally, he takes comfort in knowing that Harry Quarry will be present.
Upon arriving at Lambeth Palace, Harry hasn’t shown up (as of yet). On the contrary, it’s Jamie who appears, causing John to request that Jamie address him using his given name. This is a surprising development for Jamie, offering a glimpse into how their relationship has evolved over time.
When Dr. Hunter enters the room, John feels uneasy. He doesn’t want his body to become a subject for one of Hunter’s scientific studies. I find it fascinating that in the show Outlander, Jamie didn’t realize that the Hunters were related. Given that this John Hunter is actually the uncle of the Hunter siblings, it’s understandable how such connections might be overlooked if one isn’t well-versed in history. Moreover, this fictional Dr. Hunter is inspired by a real historical figure.
Jamie’s words to John were a familiar blessing, indicating on numerous occasions that Jamie has developed a strong affection for him.
During the encounter, the atmosphere grows heavy. Twelvetrees manages to land some impactful strikes, one of which causes significant injury to John’s chest. Yet, John retaliates with a decisive, deadly strike. He plunges his weapon into Twelvetrees’ abdomen.
The chapter ends with Jamie rushing to John’s side, as John cuts off his ability to say that he wants to be taken home.
Could this chapter be used in a TV series adaptation?
In order to effectively portray an adaptation of “The Scottish Prisoner“, it’s crucial to include this particular chapter. It’s a pivotal event in the narrative for John, Jamie, and Twelvetrees, signifying a significant turning point in their relationships. This moment presents a substantial transformation in the bond between John and Jamie, serving as the foundation for the friendship we come to know later on.
This is also huge for the family feud between the Twelvetrees and Grey families. This cannot be over as there is another Twelvetrees brother out there. However, it marks two Greys who have dueled two Twelvetrees brothers, and both the Twelvetrees brothers have been killed in the duels.
