anti-slavery novels. Critics have classified these two books, Uncle Tom’s Cabin

and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and their characters as offensive racial

stereotypes. I believe Stowe has shown Tom as a heroic slave. I consider Mark

Twain’s character, Jim, being portrayed in demeaning ways.

I feel Harriet Beecher Stowe has portrayed Tom from Uncle Tom’s Cabin

as a heroic slave. Tom was a very strong, intelligent man. He was the ideal slave

of everyone. He was taught to read and write by his master’s son, George

Shelby. (1006) Master Shelby and his wife had great respect for Tom. Tom

highly regarded his masters. It is shown when Eliza wanted to run away with

Tom after he found out he was being sold, but Tom didn’t go. “No, no--I an’t

going. Let Eliza go -- it’s her right! I wouldn’t be the one to say no--’t an’t in

nature for her to stay; but you heard what she said! If I must be sold, or all the

man with heroism. Mark Twain’s character, Jim, was a childish and naive man

is left to believe witches took his hat off and placed it in the trees. Their were

for the Shelby’s to keep their plantation. He chose a moral choice, to suffer and

come to the conclusion Jim was only created as a means for Huck to travel on
