Rowlandson's dehumanizing descriptions of the Native Americans serve to justify her own actions and the actions of the Puritans towards them. By depicting them as savage and evil, it reinforces the idea that the Puritans are the righteous and superior group. It also serves to create a sense of fear and otherness towards the Native Americans, helping to solidify the divide between the two groups.
