What is the mother's background? Does she speak English, French, Spanish, Portuguese? How far removed from Africa (what part? what language?) is she?
Are the brothers fathered by the same man?
If so, why is neither of them named for the father?
What exactly is the relationship between the captain and the slave woman? Do they actually have a relationship or is he just using her purely for sex? If the latter, why would the mother name any of the kids after him? Or does he treat them more or less as if they are an ordinary family?
What is his background? Anthony is an English name, but is he in fact English or American?
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
