: : Another possibility; Given Cooper's propensity toward heavy usage of symbolism, Col. Munro may have represented a personification of either the King, or more interestingly, England herself. Could the "Grey Hair" be the elder parent nation with her institutions, rules, and power being shown as weakened ... or dying? The "father" of wrongs committed against Magua's people whose "seed" must be wiped out? If so, could the daughters of Munro symbolize the American colonies and the shifting loyalties of England's colonial 'children'?
