Library's collection Library's IT development CancelHarriet Beecher Stowe was very influential in America. She wrote many
literary works and the famous one is Uncle Tom?s Cabin. She used slavery as the
background of this work. This literary work talks about the struggles of white
masters and a mulatto slave to untie the slaves and to get freedom. Therefore, I
would like to analyze Uncle Tom?s Cabin because I am curious to know the
factors and the ways of three characters in this novel untying the slaves. To
analyze, I apply literary approach and use as the tools the theory of
characterization and the theory of conflict. Finally, I find that there are outer
factors in each character to untie the slaves, such as, the miserable condition of the
slaves, the influence from others. And the inner factors are the character traits of
the main characters that are kindhearted, full of compassion, trying to apply
Christian beliefs, the feeling of loneliness, and a feeling of rebellion against the
injustices. The factors are different for each other according to their character
traits. Moreover, the factors also influence the ways of each characters to untie the
slaves, which is, by education, taking care of the slaves, giving freedom, and
running away from the South to the North.
