uncle toms cabin

Uncle Toms Cabin depicted the time period of slavery very

well. The protagonist of the story was Uncle Tom, he is the pious

and good man of the story. He never loses his faith in people,

even if put down by them. From what I’ve read Uncle Tom’s Cabin

was made to symbolize religious and steady faith. Mr. and Mrs.

Shelby represent the few slave owners that cared about there

slave and there well being.

When Eliza ran away for the Shelby’s to save her son from

being sold and in depspreration ran into the freezing cold river

to get away from Tom Loker was when you saw her love for her

son, Harry. The icy river kind of symbolized the line between

slavery and freedom. It was kind of ironic how Mrs. Bird and Mrs.

Shelby acted because you would of thought at that time that the

women listen to there husbands every word but these two women

spoke as openly as any other man.

It looked encouraging the Uncle Tom would be ok...
