Robert Louis Stevenson’s essay "Travels with a Donkey" ends with his reflections on his feelings after selling Modestine, the donkey. Throughout their trip together through the Cevennes, Stevenson had been involved in a contest of wills with the donkey; it remained to be seen which of them was more stubborn and which would come out ahead in their disagreements. Stevenson’s relationship with the donkey parallels the changes he undergoes in the course of the trip; although still self-involved, he has a great understanding of others’ points of view.
Stevenson was often critical of Modestine and regarded her personality traits as a deliberate affront to his authority. When the trip is over, he sells the donkey and expects to be relieved at being rid of her. Now he understands that she was a good companion, patient and elegant. Stevenson understands why Father Adam, who had sold him the beast, had cried when he sold her. Finally, Stevenson himself gives in and weeps.
