Uncle Tom's Cabin

In the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe takes a break every now and then from the story and preaches to the reader. There are many passages throughout the book that Stowe has brilliantly fit in to make the story clearer and more pleasing for the audience. The first passage that I chose is "And what is the matter with Legree? And what was there in a simple curl of fair hair to appall that brutal man, familiar with every form of cruelty? To answer this, we must carry the reader backward in his history."... "Born of hard-tempered sire, on whom that gentle woman had wasted a world of unvalued love, Legree had followed in the steps of his father" (528). Harriet Beecher Stowe squeezed this passage in the story to tell the reader that Legree was horrible and evil not because of his m


I chose this because I believe the reader has a right to know why Legree is as wicked as he is and it is nice to once and a while get a background on the characters to see where they come from, how they were raised and why they do what they do. other, but how he was raised by his father. Thus, I agree with Stowe throwing this little passage in because it helps the reader understand the character more clearly. The second passage that I chose from Uncle Tom's Cabin is "A slave warehouse! Perhaps some of our readers conjure up horrible visions of such a place. However, just because it is not a "bad" place, does not mean it is right for slaves to be there. (467)" The author thought this explanation was important to put in the story because it tells the reader that a slave warehouse isn't what it sounds like. It is in fact very well kept and clean. However, in real life, if something that is going good for us just comes to a stop, our lives don't end. That is the point that Harriet Beecher Stowe is attempting to make when she put this passage into Uncle Tom's Cabin. (241)" I agree very much so with Harriet Beecher Stowe when she put this in the book. But in real life we do not die when all that makes life bright dies to us.
