I. Humanism in Uncle Toms Cabin

The humanism in Uncle Toms Cabin is Christianity， which embodies tolerance and fraternity. The book of Uncle Toms Cabin is dominated by the same theme：The evils and immorality of slavery. When Mrs. Stowe writes about minor themes-such as the moral authority of mothers and the possibility of Christian salvation-she emphasizes the link between these themes and the horrors of slavery.Mrs. Stowes Puritan religious beliefs were revealed at the end of the novel and extended to all themes; she explored the nature of Christianity and argued that there was an irreconcilable contradiction between Christian theology and slavery.When Eva died， Tom implored her beloved St. Clare to “look back at Jesus，” and when Tom died， George Shelby praised him with “be a Christian.”Because in Uncle Toms Cabin， Christian themes have a lot of weight， and because Mrs. Stokes express direct and frequent religious feelings in the novel， the novel is often considered to have a “sermon form.”Mrs. Stowe， described by President Lincoln as “a little woman who wrote a book that caused a great war，” described in delicate ink a black slave image of Tom， who was honest and honest， obedient， unrepentant， obedient， and faithful. Uncle Toms Cabin aroused a strong response in the world of the nineteenth century.The literary world calls this typical figure “Uncle Tom Doctrine”， and takes “Uncle Tom Doctrine”， which succumbs to any master， as a word in the literary field.This term is extended to social life， which means the metaphor of non-resistance. At one time， people all over the world understand and use the word， and become the language of peoples daily life.”Uncle Toms Doctrine” epitomizes Tom， a household-name figure， who is bent on subjugation， unrepentance， hope for the mercy of slave owners， and religion as the hallmark of all spiritual sustenance.This religious piety is a foolish loyalty， but it is a good reflection of the “Christian concept of good in the Christian sense”.In fact， this kind of Christianity is a humanism， that is， in the age when the class concept is very obvious， all life and economy still need to be based on the development of human beings， to respect human life， to pay attention to the development and health of human beings.

II. Harmonious Development

For us who grew up in the 21st century， I think there will probably never be a chance to experience such a thing， because now the society is shouting “Human Rights， Equality”！Perhaps because of the ugly society at that time， we can learn from history and do not let history repeat itself. We see the development of society， but also sympathize with those who died for the development of society.It was because so many slaves had been treated unequally， and because of this work of Mrs. Beechstown， that people were woken up and fought.Now， in our political book of the second year， it is written that even the perpetrators have the right to human dignity.So here we have to see the duality of things. Everything has a good side and a bad side. Because of the darkness of the time， so that people today have a clear understanding of respect for anyones personality！Uncle Toms Cabin， Mrs. Beechstowns work， has been published for more than 150 years.Over the last 150 years， different people have had different experiences.Over the last 150 years， different people have had different experiences.In the whole process of development and pursuit， Uncle Toms inspiration is that the premise of social harmony and development is the pursuit and importance of “fraternity， humanism， affection and love”. Without the theme of love and respect for life and personality， there will be no harmony and happiness.
