Uncle Tom s Cabin Book Review
Uncle Tom’s Cabin and Christian Faith
12364034-黄颖茹
Published in 1850, Uncle Tom’s Cabin is a representative work of Mrs. Stowe, which describes the tragic fate of numerous black people and harshly denounces the evil of the system of slavery. Affected by her Christian religion, Mrs. Stowe is a firm abolitionist. By her minute and sensitive description, people began to realize the cruelness of slavery and emphasize the suffering black people, which partly stimulated the Civil War.
Throughout the whole book, there is a clue that links the development of the story, that is, the Christian faith. According to their race and religion, the characters in this book can be divided into four genres: the white who believe in Christianity, the white who distort Christian, the black who believe in Christianity, and those who firstly don’t believe in Christian but change their minds after religious education. Mrs. Stowe conveys her Christian faith and feelings through these four kinds of role, and I would like to talk about my reflection on the relationship between Christian faith and this book below.
The main character of the story, Uncle Tom, the black slave, is a devotional Christian. He is a man of integrity and loyalty. When he knows Mr. Shellby has sold him to a slave trader, he chooses to stay and sacrifice himself to protect the other slaves in the manor instead of running away and landing his master into trouble. At the end of the story, he prefers to die rather than tell Legree where Cassy and Emmeline have gone. Uncle Tom is not only a self-sacrifice man, he is also tolerant. He never hates those who betray or maltreat him, and he even prays for them, exhorting them to confess their sins to the God. Same as a black Christian, unlike Uncle Tom who resigns to all the suffering and misery passively, Eliza chooses to save her son and her soul, and overcomes all the dangers and difficulties to flee to Canada. Both of them convey the doctrines of Christianity, belief in God,
