Overview of the novel:

Irina Kaptelova escaped with his son and Tom was sold to the lower reaches of the river. Simon Le grip is beating Uncle Tom. At the beginning of the novel, Arthur Shelby, a farmer in Kentucky, is facing the dilemma of losing his land due to debt. Although he and his wife (Emily Shelby) are very friendly to their slaves, Shelby decides to sell some slaves to slave traders to raise the funds he badly needs. Two slaves were sold: one was Uncle Tom, a middle-aged man with a wife and children; The second is Harry, the son of Eliza, Emily's maid. Emily didn't like the idea because she had promised her maid that her son would never be sold; And Emily's son George Shelby doesn't want Tom to leave, because he regards Tom as his mentor.

Chasing Eliza's family, Tom and St. Clare's family lived on Eliza's way to escape. She happened to meet her husband george harris, who fled before her, and they decided to go to Canada. However, they were targeted by a slave hunter named Tom Locke. Finally, Locke and his accomplices trapped Eliza and her family, which led George to be forced to shoot Locke. Eliza, worried about Locke's death, persuaded George to send the slave hunter to a nearby Quaker settlement for treatment.

After returning to New Orleans, St Clare and his northern cousin O 'Filja had a quarrel because of their different views on slavery. O 'Filja opposed slavery, but he was prejudiced against blacks. However, St. Clare thinks he doesn't have these prejudices, even though he is a slave owner himself. In order to explain to his cousin that she was wrong about blacks, Saint Calea bought a black girl, Topsy, and asked O 'Filja to educate Topsy.

After Tom lived with St Clare for two years, Eva became seriously ill. Before she died, she dreamed of heaven in a dream, and she told the people around her this dream. Because of Eva's death and her dream, others decided to change their lives: O 'Filja decided to give up prejudice against blacks, Topsy said she would try to improve herself, and St. Clare promised to set Tom free.

Tom was sold to Simon Le grip. Before St Clare fulfilled his promise, he was stabbed to death with a hunting knife because he was involved in a fight. St Clare's wife refused to fulfill her husband's promise before his death and bought Tom to the evil farmer Simon Le grip at an auction. Lai grip (he is not a native of the South, but an immigrant from the North) took Tom to the countryside in Louisiana. Tom met other slaves of Lai grip here, including Emmeline (Lai grip bought her at the same auction). When Tom refused to obey Legrip's orders to whip his fellow slaves, Lai grip began to hate him. Tom was brutally whipped, and Lai grip was determined to crush Tom's belief in God. But Tom refused to stop reading the Bible and tried his best to comfort other slaves. At the plantation, Tom met Cathy, another slave in Legrip. Cathy was forced to be separated from her children when she was auctioned; Unable to bear the pain of another child being betrayed, she killed the third child.

At this time, Tom Locke returned to the story. After being cured by Quakers, Locke changed. George, Eliza and Tom were free after they entered Canada. In Louisiana, when Uncle Tom's faith in God was about to be destroyed by the torture he suffered in the plantation, he experienced two dreams-one was Jesus and the other was Eva-which made him determined to keep his faith in Christ until his death. He encouraged Cathy to escape and asked her to take Emmeline with her. When Tom refused to tell Legree where Cathy and Emmeline had fled, Lai grip ordered his boss to kill Tom. When he was dying, Tom forgave the two supervisors who beat him cruelly: inspired by their personalities, both of them converted to Christ. Before Tom died, George Shelby (son of Arthur Shelby) appeared. He wanted to buy back Tom's freedom, but he found it was too late.

On the way to freedom by boat, Cathy and Emmeline met george harris's sister and went to Canada with her. Cathy once discovered that Eliza was her long-lost daughter. Now they are finally reunited. They went to France and finally arrived in Liberia, an African country that took in former American slaves. There, they saw Cathy's long-lost son again. George Shelby returned to his farm in Kentucky, freed all his slaves and told them to remember Tom's sacrifice and his faith in the true meaning of Christ.

Revelation:

A black slave was lucky enough to cultivate a noble character under the care of a kind master. His devotion to Christ inspired him to face everything with enthusiasm, whether it was the suffering of life or the depression in his heart. At least, he is the happiest at this time.

However, fate does not exist because of people's goodwill and good wishes. It showed its ferocious teeth to this extremely honest poor man. Under the pressure of his master's debt, he inevitably embarked on the tragic road of being bought and sold at will. Some people's laws stipulate their slave status and doomed their tragic fate. Under any possible change, slaves are in a trampled position.

In the hard and bumpy working life, it was the call of God that comforted his soul, which was his only spiritual home, and he had nothing else. Kindness and care are extremely fragile in the heavy darkness, and the light of reason can only illuminate a little warmth around us. As usual, this light will disappear as long as it is cloudy.

However, people with perseverance will eventually be saved, and no one can stop the free mind from flying to heaven. The glory of that sacred suffering will extradite every follower with lofty beliefs to the other side of happiness.

Suffering seems to have the same shocking effect as beauty. Faced with the plight of slaves, I can't help but feel a twinge of trembling. When Tom, George, Icarina, Mrs. Shelby, mrs. harris and others praised God and saved their souls, the same feeling spread all over the body. In fact, what else can people expect? Except myself.

When suffering comes, most people choose to escape or let others bear it. In the face of happiness, people choose to enjoy it alone. Is this the nature of people seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages? * * * adversity is not as rich as * * *. It seems that history has confirmed this iron law to us. The warmth in the soul is shrinking. Blinded the mind's sight, why are we moved?

God lives in people's hearts, and we are God! We saw this in Tom's extremely pious prayer. From his firm belief, we also have every reason to believe that in the end, he saved himself and his soul was with God. There is no doubt that people with hope and full of hope will always be happy!
