Eve's muteness


How did Eve become mute? I would have liked it if at the end, she was able to speak.

It is explained by the Traders wife when she sells Eve to Jean LeBete that she is mute from the shock of seeing her parents murdered infront of her when she was just a child.

Earlier, if I remember correctly. At the very beginning, in the talk between the captain and the trader, at the time when the boat with all the women arrives. It's rather graphic, the explanation of Eve's muteness. Indians had tied her family together and "roasted" them, all of Eve's family, even the kids. Her mother was nailed to the wall. Eve hided and had to watch everything. The trader's wife repeats a short version of this explanation later, to LaBete.

(sorry for mistakes, this is a translation from a dubbed version of this film)

I just watched this film again - it seems like a million years since I've seen it the last time, I was a kid then (and I didn't realize that the snow wasn't real snow! haha) but I always loved it!
