David Gamut tries to introduce his theory of Calvinism, but is mocked by Hawkeye. It is a free place where no government rules and where there is no law of the British. The wild frontier is untouched by the trace of civilization.
The white character David Gamut is permitted to explore the possibility of application of religion in the wilderness. They both have unity and have a good team spirit to fight against the Huron and save the military leader Heyward. On the other hand, the interracial friendship of Hawkeye, a white man, and Chingachgook, a Mohican Indian is praised by Cooper. Through their love, Cooper shows the interracial love at the frontier is undesirable and at the same time the forced love of Magua to Cora is portrayed as unnatural. Their love has a tragic end, both Cora and Uncas have to die for the sake of their interracial love. They could not unite because they belong to two different races: one from white and another from Black. The interracial love of Cora and Uncas are doomed at last.
The Last of the Mohicans deals with the theme of love and friendship of two different races.
