You might find it useful to refer to the specific part of
the novel that your question pertains to. This section of the novel comes in Chapter 19,
when Nat so gallantly and bravely returns to rescue Kit from being tried as a witch. He
brings Prudence with him who shows everyone how Kit taught her how to read. Of course,
it is when Goodwife Cruff has her revenge against Kit spoilt that she turns it onto
Nat:
"That
man!" she shrilled. "Isn't he the seaman? The one who was banished for setting fire to
houses? Thirty lashes they promised him if he showed his face here
again!"
Although Nat manages
to slip away before they capture him, his willingness to show up and defend Kit to see
justice done against the ignorance of the community shows what kind of man he is and
demonstrates both his love of Kit but also his love of justice.
