Set Up and Pay off- The inside joke with Barbara, His voice returns at his wedding, the man speaking and then they bring in evidence that says slaves don't like the West Indies.

Deus Ex Machina- Fox buys Parliament tickets to the horse race so no one can vote on their bill.

Overall I really enjoyed the film. I thought the acting was good, and I really enjoyed the story. I originally thought that I wouldn't enjoy the movie, but by the end I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen. I also liked how they showed the rest of Wilbur's accomplishments, not just his one on the slave trade.
