Uncle Tom's Cabin
Résumé
Harriet Beecher Stowe’s mid-19th-century novel examines the moral complexities of slavery in America through the lives of people affected by the institution. Set in Kentucky, it opens with Mr. Shelby, struggling with financial troubles, weighing the sale of Uncle Tom and a young boy, Harry, to help settle debts. In conversations with the trader Haley, the dialogue underscores the way slaves are treated as property rather than as human beings. The narrative also follows Eliza, whose desperation to protect her child emerges when she learns of the planned sale, prompting the first signs of upheaval.
