《汤姆叔叔的小屋》的读后感
[《汤姆叔叔的小屋》的读后感]The Power of Uncle Tom’s Cabin ..My first reaction to this book is that it was based much more on religion than I had imagined it to be. As I expected, Stowes main purpose of the book was to nakedly expose the institution of slavery to America and the rest of the world with the hopes that something would be done about it. To achieve this purpose, she showed us individual instances of slavery in a country that prided itself on its Christianity and its laws protecting freedom. She showed us how absurd slavery is beneath the shadow of American laws and the shadow of the cross of Christ. I was also surprised at the various kinds of relationships between whites and blacks of the South. We learn that not all whites were bad and not all blacks were good, but that there were quite a mixture of characters and relationships. That was a strength of the book. Its not a melodrama, but shows an evil institution which allows both good and evil and all those in between to exist under it, and how this institution affects the individuals. Legrees plantation, for instance, corrupted anyone who came there. But the reader understands that it is the system that allows this which is the root of the problem, and that, by the way is a North\\\/South problem, not just a Southern problem. She specifically calls on the North at the end of the book to ask themselves if they can live with the institution of slavery in their country and still call themselves Christians. A wise move. One of the most memorble characters was, of course, Eva. Stowe was able to give her a true, simple, childs voice which spoke unadulterated truth about the relations and happenings around her: Poor old Prues child was all that she had,--and yet she had to hear it crying, and she couldnt help it! Papa, these poor creatures love their children as much as you do me. O! do something for them! Theres poor Mammy loves her children; ve seen her cry when she talked about them. And Tom loves his children; and its dreadful, papa, that such things are happening, all the time! You cant help but say, Oh, my god, shes right you know! Evas is a powerful voice in this book. But Evas Jesus-like gathering of the slaves before she died was a bit much in its reference to Jesus. How old was Eva? Certainly younger than to have the mature sense of death and consciousness of duty than most adults ever attain. Are these the words of a little kid: I sent for you all, my dear friends, said Eva, because I love you. I love you all; and I have something to say to you, which I want you always to remember . . . . I am going to leave you. In a few more weeks, you will see me no more-- The character Eva seemed to be an innocent child telling her family and the world about how she saw slavery which exposed a lot of its evils. But when she turned into a mini Jesus and preached to the slaves before her death as Jesus had preached the disciples before his death, I felt the author had given to too great of a jump into maturity to be believable, unless the short life of Eva was really supposed to be a irreal miracle occurance. Eva was powerful enough as a real character who looks at slavery from innocent eyes. Her transfiguration into a holy person at the end took some of her punch away. As a Jesus-character, Tom transcends the book as a Christian hero. An interesting study would be a comparison of Tom and Jesus. One direct parallel, for instance, is the direct temptation that Legree put upon Tom to break him and make him give up his religion for Legrees church. It parallels to the temptation of Jesus by Satan in the desert. An important question asked throughout the book was If we emancipate, are we willing to educate? In her essay at the end, Stowe chides those white Americans who feel they are doing the slaves a favor by sending them back to Africa so that they can live in the supposedly free country of Liberia. She directly asks the reader, Would you be willing to take a slave into your Christian home and educate him? This question went right into every household in the North. A short introduction at the beginning of my book asked the question whether or not it was good literary style for Stowe to talk directly to the reader in the book. I dont think Stowe was trying to a create literary work of art other than would serve her purpose of communicating to the reader what exactly slavery was in America at that time. She wrote the book so that she could talk directly to the reader. It may not be good literary style but it reminds the reader that this books for you. If you want to look at this book in terms of an interesting piece of literature outside its social and political context, I dont think you have much to look at. The story itself is not interesting (the escape plan of Cassy was the high point), its packed with religious dogma at every turn (borders on Puritan literature), and you dont see hardly any character development except perhaps for Augustine, but he is so wishy washy that his conversion right before his death doesnt give you any insights into his character or human nature. This book is simply expository: it uncovers the institution of slavery. This is what makes the book riveting to read. Stowe seems to have seen quite a number of individual incidents of slavery for her to be able to write powerful and moving scenes like this one in which the slave George gives Mr. Wilson, a former humane owner, the view of slavery in America from the slaves point of view. This speech by George was the most powerful in the book: See here, now, Mr. Wilson, said George, coming up and sitting himself determinately down in front of him; look at me, now. Dont I sit before you, every way, just as much a man as you are? Look at my face,--look at my body, and the young man drew himself up proudly; why am I not a man, as much as anybody? Well, Mr. Wilson, hear what I can tell you. I had a father--one of your Kentucky gentlemen--who didnt think enough of me to keep me from being sold with his dogs and horses, to satisy the estate, when he died. I saw my mother put up at sheriffs sale, with her seven children. They were sold before her eyes, one by one, all to different masters; and I was the youngest. She came and kneeled down before old Masr, and begged him to buy her with me, that she might have at least one child with her; and he kicked her away with his heavy boot. I saw him do it; and the last that I heard was her moans and screams, when I was tied to his horses neck, to be carried off to his place. Well, then? My master traded with one of the men, and bought my oldest sister. She was a pious, good girl,--a member of the Baptist Church,--and as handsome as my poor mother had been. She was well brought up, and had good manners. At first, I was glad she was bought, for I had one friend near me. I was soon sorry for it. Sir, I have stood at the door and heard her whipped, when it seemed as if every blow cut into my naked heart, and I couldnt do anything to help her; and she was whipped, sir, for wanting to live a decent Christian life, such as your laws give no slave girl a right to live; and at last I saw her chained with a traders gang, to be sent to market in Orleans,--sent there for nothing else but that,--and thats the last I know of her. Well, I grew up,--long years and years,--no father, no mother, no sister, not a living soul that cared for me more than a dog; nothing but whipping, scolding, starving. Why, sir, Ive been so hungry that I have been glad to take the bones they threw to their dogs; and yet, when I was a little fellow, and laid awake whole nights and cried, it wasnt the hunger, it wasnt the whipping, I cried for. No, sir; it was for my mother and my sisters.--It was because I handt a friend to love me on earth. I never knew what peace or comfort was. I never had a kind word spoken to me till I came to work in your factory. Mr. Wilson, you treated me well; you encouraged me to do well, and to learn to read and write, and to try to make something of myself; and God knows how grateful I am for it. Then, sir, I found my wife; youve seen her,--you know how beautiful she is. When I found she loved me, when I married her, I scarcely could believe I was alive, I was so happy; and, sir, she is as good as she is beautiful. But now what? Why, now comes my master, takes me right away from my work, and my friends, and all I like, and grinds me down into the very dirt! And why? Because, he says, I forgot who I was; he says, to teach me that I am only a nigger! After all, and last of all, he comes between me and my wife, and says I shall give her up, and live with another woman. And all this your laws give him power to do, in spite of God or man. Mr. Wilson, look at it! There isnt one of all these things, that have broken the hearts of my mother and my sister, and my wife and myself, but your laws allow, and give every man power to do in Kentucky, and none can say to him, nay! Do you call these the laws of my country? Sir, I havent any country, any more than I have any father. But Im going to have one. I dont want anything of your country, except to be let alone,--to go peaceably out of it; and when I get to Canada, where the laws will own me and protect me, that shall be my country, and its laws I will obey. But if any man tries to stop me, let him take care, for I am desperate. Ill fight for my liberty to the last breath I breathe. You say your fathers did it; if it was right for them, it is right for me! Powerful! The realization that the slaves are in a country which just recently declared itself free from oppression makes the system utterly absurd and contradictory. With the voice of Augustine, Stowe tells us what slavery is really: This cursed business, accursed of God and man, what is it? Strip it of all its ornament, run it down to the root and nucleus of the whole, and what is it? Why, because my brother Quashy is ignorant and weak, and I am intelligent and strong,--because I know how, and can do it,--therefore, I may steal all he has, keep it, and give him only such and so much as suits my fancy. Whatever is too hard, to dirty, to disagreeable, for me, I may set Quashy to doing. Because I dont like work, Quashy shall work. Because the sun burns me, Quashy shall stay in the sun. Quashy shall earn the money, and I will spend it. Quashy shall lie down in every puddle, that I may walk over dry-shod. Quashy shall do my will and not his, all the days of his mortal life, and have such chance of getting to heaven, at last as I find convenient. This I take to be about what slavery is. I defy anybody on earth to read our slave-cod, as it stands in our lawy-books, and make anything else of it. Talk of the abuses of slavery! Humbug! The thing itself is the essence of all abuse! In painting the United States as the land of freedom or Gods country, you cannot forget about slavery. What was it doing in the land of freedom? What was it doing in a country that prided itself in its application to the teachings of the Bible? Slaverys social and political ramifications reach us even today. It is in Americas history and its roots. Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin is a must read for Americans so that we do not forget.The Power of Uncle Tom’s Cabin Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, has had a tremendous impact on American culture, both then and now. It is still considered a controversial novel, and many secondary schools have banned it from their libraries. What makes it such a controversial novel? One reason would have been that the novel is full of melodrama, and many people considered it a caricature of the truth. Others said that she did not show the horror of slavery enough, that she showed the softer side of it throughout most of her novel. Regardless of the varying opinions of its readers, it is obvious that its impact was large. For instance many of the characters in the book have become the stereotypes of slavery in the South. An example of this is Uncle Tom himself, whose name was eventually degraded into a nickname for blacks who were too subservient to whites. He became the stereotype of the passive slave who would do anything his master told him, because it was his duty as a slave. However few remember how the strength of his faith was what allowed him to tolerate the horrors that were enacted upon him. Another example of the stereotyping of Stowe’s characters is Aunt Chloe, Uncle Tom’s wife, and her children. Aunt Chloe is an excellent example because she has become the “Aunt Jemima” stereotype. She had a “round, black, shining face” and wore a checkered headscarf, and she worked in the kitchen, took care of the kitchen, and basically ran the household. Not to mention for many years black children were still stereotyped as mischievous like Mose, Pete, and, later in the novel, Topsy. Even the slave owners and traders are stereotypes now. Mr. Shelby and his wife have become the “gentlemen and lady” slave holders, who see themselves as good Christian people and attempt to take good care of their slaves, but still don’t see black people as equal to whites. Simon Legree has become the stereotypical cruel master, who let his estate go to hell, but continued to work his slaves too hard and beat them senseless (or, in Tom’s and other’s cases, to death) when they did not behave as he thought they should. However there are other ways this novel has been influential to American culture. After its publishing it helped spread the ideas of the abolitionist movement. Though some thought the book was to soft, it still brought to light some of the horrors of slavery, and the hypocritical Christian ideology of the South. The fact that this novel is written using Christianity and what makes a “good” Christian is versus what makes a “bad,” or hypocritical, Christian, shows that the much of America has moved away from the Deist movement of the 18th century. It is a return to a more puritanical Christianity. For while God is still a more distant, and kinder, figure than his was in the Puritans’ world, he is once more involved in the daily lives of people. This novel shows the beginnings of what many of today’s churches believe that God is always present in the lives of his children and he helps people out in mysterious ways. An example of this in the novel is Eliza’s crossing of the Ohio River. Sam, one of the slaves who was “helping” Mr. Haley catch Eliza, told his Mrs. Shelby that it was only with God’s help that she could have made it across the river by jumping on the ice flows. Though it is a novel full of melodrama, it is also a moving novel that has had a profound effect on American culture. It is also a novel that has mirrored some of the changes in American culture, such as the slowly changing views of Christianity. The abolitionist movement, and those who the movement was trying to convince, profoundly felt the novel’s impact. Its message is still important, or there would not be arguments over whether the book should be required reading, or whether the book should be in the school libraries at all. This book, along with such novels as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, will always be important as long as there are people who believe that its message is not only irrelevant but that it should be banned from libraries, or even burned. And so Harriet Beecher Stowe has managed to influence American culture and society more than 100 years after Uncle Tom’s Cabin was published.from：雪岚岚 〔《汤姆叔叔的小屋》的读后感〕随文赠言：【这世上的一切都借希望而完成，农夫不会剥下一粒玉米，如果他不曾希望它长成种粒；单身汉不会娶妻，如果他不曾希望有孩子；商人也不会去工作，如果他不曾希望因此而有收益。

《汤姆叔叔的小屋》的读后感英文
==============================《汤姆叔叔的小屋》的读后感（一）==============================Uncle Tom's cabin is frequently criticized by people who have never read the work, myself included. I decided I finally needed to read it and judge it for myself. And I have to say, that for all its shortcomings, it is really a remarkable book. The standout characteristics of this book are the narrative drive, the vivid characters, the sprawling cast, the several completely different worlds that were masterfully portrayed, and the strong female characters in the book. The portrayal of slavery and its effects on families and on individuals is gut-wrenching - when Uncle Tom has to leave his family, and when Eliza may lose little Harry, one feels utterly desolate.As for flaws, yes, Mrs. Stowe does sermonize a fair bit, and her sentences and pronounc. But in her time, she went far beyond the efforts of most of her contemporaries to both see and portray her African-American brothers and sisters are equal to her. The best way she did this was in her multi-dimensional portrayal of her Negro characters -- they are, in fact, more believable and more diverse than her white characters. Yes, at times her portrayal of Little Eva and Uncle Tom is overdone at times -- they are a little cardboard in places -- but both, Uncle Tom especially, are overall believable, and very inspiring. The rest of the Negro characters - George Harris, Eliza, Topsy, Cassie, Emmeline, Chloe, Jane and Sara, Mammy, Alphonse, Prue, and others, span the whole spectrum of humanity -- they are vivid and real.The comments of a previous reviewer that the book actually justifies slavery and that it shows that Christianity defends slavery are due to sloppy reading of the book. No one reading the book could possibly come to the conclusion that it does anything but condemn slavery in the strongest and most indubitable terms. This was the point of the book. The aside about capitalism was just that, an aside on the evils of capitalism. It did not and does not negate the attack on slavery. Secondly, another major point of the book is that TRUE Christianity does not and could not ever support slavery. Stowe points out the Biblical references used to claim that Christianity defended slavery merely to show how the Bible can be misused by those who wish to defend their own indefensible viewpoint. It's ridiculous to say that the book shows that Christianity supported slavery. It shows that some misguided preachers abused certain Bible passages and ignored other ones to support their view of slavery.==============================《汤姆叔叔的小屋》的读后感（二）==============================Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly is an anti-slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Published in 1852, the novel had a profound effect on attitudes toward African Americans and slavery in the United States, so much so in the latter case that the novel intensified the sectional conflict leading to the American Civil War.Stowe, a Connecticut-born teacher at the Hartford Female Academy and an active abolitionist, focused the novel on the character of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering Black slave around whom the stories of other characters—both fellow slaves and slave owners—revolve. The sentimental novel depicts the cruel reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as enslavement of fellow human beings.Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century (and the second best-selling book of that century, following the Bible) and is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s. In the first year after it was published, 300,000 copies of the book were sold in the United States alone. The book's impact was so great that when Abraham Lincoln met Stowe at the start of the American Civil War, Lincoln is often quoted as having declared, So this is the little lady who made this big war.The book, and even more the plays it inspired, also helped create a number of stereotypes about Blacks, many of which endure to this day. These include the affectionate, dark-skinned mammy; the Pickaninny stereotype of black children; and the Uncle Tom, or dutiful, long-suffering servant faithful to his white master or mistress. In recent years, the negative associations with Uncle Tom's Cabin have, to an extent, overshadowed the historical impact of the book as a vital antislavery tool.

A few days ago, I Stowe read his fame as the Uncle Tom's cabin. Honest, kind, devout religious Uncle Tom; more brave than, clever to learn half blood slave of George; mercenary, merciless slave-mongers black Lee; devoid of humanity, and conscience funeral Lei Geli; righteousness, carried by the Saint Clare and other vivid characters left a deep impression on me. Make me the most memorable is a smart and lively, but full of wild, later being train self-esteem love slave girl tuopuxi.Tuopuxi is the best black Black, a round pair of bright eyes shining like a glass beads, looks a bit weird, the look on his face is a wonderful combination of smart and crafty Kat, just like a Goblin. She stole, stole lying after she assumed a innocent expression; she's improper behaviour, all the people that made her revenge, prank; she'd take advantage of the master, crazy hours, upside down House. Owner tried all means to punish her for her to educate her, trying to change her bad habit, but of no use, it is only because there is no love!Think about it! this was originally a lovely child, born enslaved, all her only belong to their owners, master of the so-called dominated her fate. She was brought up in the slave owners called growing up in her habit of lying, stealing of bad habits, it turned out that she is beautiful and pure and defiled the soul. This lack of dignity, experiencing the separation, suffering all day flogging case, how can I have noble virtues and firm faith? only pure, good, unselfish love in order to save her soul! when Angel Eva love when she said to her, tears over the eyes of tuopuxi, her mind was a ray of Sun of love. Sure enough, after tuopuxi better, her efforts to care for others. This is called, lecturing will always fall short of the results, a word of love transcends all! that's the power of love!In our lives, there are also many children like tuopuxi. They conduct, and not loving, unreasonable, so don't hate him, to understand with love, tolerance, stripped off something outside the green shoots of a layer of Brown, probation numb the heart with love. To always bear in mind that; the power of love is great, paramount! this masterpiece of the Uncle Tom's cabin has been published for more than 150 years, and today, it can still deeply moved by the readers, but also because the author advocates a fraternity of the book and disappear from the slavery of humanity today is the eternal pursuit of mankind.The book Uncle Tom's cabin are dominated by the same theme: the slavery of sin and immorality. When Stowe in her words--for example, writing to the secondary theme of moral authority, and provided by the Christian rescue of mother – she would emphasize the possibility of links between these themes and the horrors of slavery. Almost in novels of each page in, Stowe Lady are in Active promote with slavery immoral this a theme, some when she even will change story narrative of tone, to to people sermons slavery of damage nature (such as, in contains with Tom to South State of ships Shang, has one white female so says: slavery of most terrible of Department on is on feelings and family of trampling--such as breaking up people of flesh and blood. ) Through the slave system characterization of people split up families, situofuren words show that slavery was evil. In a free land, fugitives were safe. Because the situofuren believe that motherhood is a model of morality and ethics in the life of all Americans, and believe that the only woman to have the United States from slavery in the hands of the devil out of moral authority; this expression is the Uncle Tom's cabin in another topic: female moral force and sanctity. In the book, this example of the role of Eliza--one with a young son runaway slaves (and eventually reunited with their family), or small Eva – she is considered a good Christian; it is through this role, Lady Stowe shows this view: women can save the people around them, even if it is not a moral person. Also referred to the comments but then, the housewives, at situofuren the female roles in General images of spokespeople appear, rather than real women. In addition, Mrs Stowe's novel reiterated the importance of a role played by the women of influence, as well as subsequent decades contributed to the feminist movement in road paving.Stowe reveals his Puritan religious beliefs to the end of the novel, and extended to all the topics; her explore the nature of the Christian and believed that Christian theology has irreconcilable contradictions with slavery. When Eva died, Tom pleaded with beloved Saint Claire, looking back on Jesus when Tom died, qiaozhi·xieerbi with being a Christian nice when you come to praise him, which topics are most clearly shows. Because of the Uncle Tom's cabin, themes represent a significant component of the Christian religion, and because Mrs Stowe novels in the feeling on the issue directly and frequently religious beliefs, this novel has often been considered homilies. 是的哦!

《汤姆叔叔的小屋：卑贱者的生活》（英语：Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly），又译作《黑奴吁天录》、《汤姆大伯的小屋》，是美国作家哈里特·比彻·斯托（斯托夫人）于1852年发表的一部反奴隶制小说。
这部小说中关于非裔美国人与美国奴隶制度的观点曾产生过意义深远的影响，并在某种程度上激化了导致美国内战的地区局部冲突。
《汤姆叔叔的小屋》故事简介
《汤姆叔叔的小屋》梗概(上) 《汤姆叔叔的小屋》是斯托夫人的一部现实主义杰作，又译为《汤姆大伯的小屋》和《黑奴吁天录》，比彻·斯托夫人(1811—1869)出生于美国一个牧师家庭，曾做过教师，她在辛辛那提市住了18年，在这里她接触了一些逃亡的生活，这为她创作这篇小说奠定了基础。
这部小说首先于1852年在《民族时代》刊物上连载，立即引起强烈的反响，受到人们无与伦比的欢迎。
同时，这部小说在19世纪50年代的美国，正是浪漫主义占文学主流的时候，它的发表对美国文学向现实主义发展产生了深刻的影响。
这部小说布局独具匠心，采用穿插轮叙的方式，沿着两条平行线索描述了两个黑奴不同的遭遇，塑造了忠诚友善但逆来顺受的汤姆和勇于抗争的伊拉莎夫妇等典型形象，并通过人物和场景描绘显示了一个时期的美国社会生活面貌。
汤姆是庄园主谢尔比家的一个黑奴，因为他为人忠实、得力，且对人友爱、乐于帮助人，深受庄园主一家和其他奴隶的喜爱，尤其是谢尔比的儿子乔治少爷非常喜欢他，称他为汤姆叔叔。
汤姆叔叔的小屋是一间木头房子，屋里挂着几幅圣经故事插图，他的妻子克洛伊婶婶是庄园的厨娘，他们有三个孩子。
2月的一天黄昏，在肯塔基州城的一间阵设讲究的屋子里，两个男人正在对坐饮酒。
主人是庄园主谢尔比先生，另一人是奴隶贩子黑利。
谢尔比善良、温和，对奴隶非常仁慈，但因他做投机生意亏了本，借据落到了黑利手中，所以不得不接受黑利的条件，把两个黑奴卖给他，要不然就得卖掉所有的产业。
被黑利看中的两个黑奴，一个就是诚实、能干、受人敬重的汤姆叔叔，另一个是谢尔比太太的侍女、混血女人伊拉莎的独生子哈里。
哈里只有5岁，聪明、伶俐，满头卷发，能歌善舞。
尽管谢尔比不忍心眼见孩子同他母亲骨肉分离，但奴隶贩子黑利却坚持要把这个孩子添上。
汤姆叔叔的小木屋紧靠着主人的大院，木屋前的菜圃里种满了蔬菜和瓜果。
晚上，克洛依婶婶一从厨房下班回来，就忙着给汤姆备办晚饭，喂养孩子。
13岁的乔治少爷照例在石板上写写画画，当汤姆的小先生，教认字。
木屋里充满了一片温情，谁能料到离别的恶讯马上就要传来呢。
这天半夜，天寒地冻，星月无光，伊拉莎偶然偷听到主人和夫人正争论关于买卖汤姆和乔治的事，温柔美丽的她决定带着儿子逃走，并且来向汤姆报信。
这时汤姆一家正躺在被窝里睡得酣熟，听见有人轻轻地叩响了窗户。
汤姆打开门，知道了一切，汤姆听得目瞪口呆，克洛伊婶婶更是悲愤万分，她劝汤姆同伊拉莎一道逃走。
可是，汤姆叔叔想到，如果他一逃走，别的奴隶就会遭到被卖的命运，主人也要丧失所有的产业。
他决定留下来，宁愿自己忍受一切痛苦。
伊拉莎独自带着儿子走了。
她抱着小哈里，踏着正在融化的浮冰，拼命赶路，逃到河边，只要越过了河，就算逃脱了黑利的追捕。
可这时河面刚解冻不久，根本没有渡船。
眼看着追捕者就要到身边，她抱紧儿子不顾一切的跳上河中漂浮的冰块，并不停留的从一块又一块的浮块上跳过去，奇迹般地跳到对岸，岸上的人都为她的壮举大惊失色。
在好心人的帮助下，她们母子到了一个保护奴隶的村庄。
就在这不久，伊拉莎的丈夫也巧妙得装扮成西班牙贵公子逃走了。
巧合的是，他也逃到妻子所在的村庄，与家人团聚了，他们决定抗争到底，在别人的帮助下，逃到了加拿大，成为了自由人。
小乔治后来留学法国，学成后去了非洲，要努力建设一个非洲人自己的国家。
可汤姆却被奴隶贩子扣上沉重的脚镣，塞进了马车。
一艘满载货物的轮船在密西西比河上航行，汤姆和别的奴隶都被赶在甲板上，胡乱地挤坐在一包包棉花中间，奴隶贩子要把他们卖到下游的种植园去。
由于汤姆的忍耐和沉静，黑利渐渐对他放了心，汤姆可以在船上走动走动了。
他总是安静而乐于助人，常常给船上的工人做帮手，无事可干时就坐在棉花包中间读《圣经》。
船上的人对他都有好感。
在船上的旅客中，有一位来自新奥尔良的年轻绅士圣克莱尔，与他同行的还有他的幼女伊娃和堂姐奥菲利亚。
圣克莱尔天赋很好，生性倨傲，不满现实但又无力改变。
他心地善良，对下人不错。
他的婚姻很不幸福，妻子梅丽冷酷、自私、残忍，他这次带着娇弱的女儿旅行，就是为了出门散散心。
小伊娃大约五六岁年纪、聪明、活泼、美丽、好奇而富有同情心。
她常常带着忧愁的神色注视着船上那些戴着镣铐的黑汉，有时又捧来糖果和桔子，高兴地分给他们吃，很快她就和汤姆混熟了。
在谢尔比庄园时，汤姆叔就深得小孩子们的喜爱，现在，他做的精致小巧的小玩艺儿又吸引了伊娃。
一天，伊娃站在船栏边玩，冷不防船身一震，小姑娘站立不稳，落入水中。
这时，汤姆正在下层甲板上，立即跳进河里，把伊娃救了上来，这更加深了他们之间的友谊。
在伊娃的要求下，圣克莱尔买下了汤姆，黑利趁势抬高价钱，大敲了一笔。
汤姆做了圣克莱尔家的马车夫，他生活得平静，唯一使他感伤的就是他和妻儿天各一方，无法相见。
汤姆的忠实、能干完全赢得了主人的信任，圣克莱尔渐渐地把许多重要事务都交给他办理。
汤姆与小伊娃一直相处得非常融洽，汤姆对伊娃充满了怜爱，想尽办法满足她天真的要求。
每次从市场上回来，他总要带给伊娃一束美丽的鲜花，还有他精心挑选的桃子或柑桔。
伊娃对汤姆也越来越喜欢，她帮助汤姆写家信，用优美的声音给汤姆读圣经，他们两人的友谊随着时间的流逝而不断增长。
《汤姆叔叔的小屋》故事梗概(下) 汤姆叔叔的小屋 比彻·斯托夫人 可是，好景不长。
汤姆到圣克莱尔家两年后，小伊娃就生病了，而且病得十分厉害。
她不断地咳嗽，还经常发烧，感到四肢乏力，人也越来越瘦，滚烫的脸上闪着圣洁的光彩。
汤姆看在眼里，疼在心上，而最使他不安的是他不能为伊娃帮一点忙，他能做的只是抱着她来回走走，稍微减轻点儿她的痛苦。
有一天，伊娃忽然指着被晚霞烧红的天际说：“汤姆叔叔，我要去了，我要到那儿去了，没有多久了。
”汤姆那颗忠实的老人的心突然感到一阵刺痛，一种不祥的预感袭扰着他。
大家的祈祷终于没能留住这个可爱的小天使，圣克莱尔和汤姆悲痛万分。
小姑娘临终前曾要求父亲给汤姆自由，圣克莱尔本来也讨厌罪恶的奴隶制。
伊娃死后，他便着手办理给汤姆恢复自由的各种法律手续，汤姆充满着马上即与家人团聚的渴望。
可是，天有不测风云，就在圣克莱尔告诉汤姆一月之后他就能获得自由与家人团聚的那天晚上，这位好心的主人在咖啡店为了两个醉汉劝架，腰上挨了致命的一刀。
可怜的汤姆眼见着希望化为了泡影。
冷酷无情的梅丽不顾丈夫和女儿的遗愿，也不听奥菲丽亚小姐的劝阻，决定卖掉汤姆和其他所有的奴隶。
奥菲丽亚只好写信给谢尔比太太，让她寄钱为汤姆赎身。
但汤姆和其他几个奴隶已被带到奴隶栈房进行拍卖了。
汤姆的新主人路格里先生，是红河岸边的一个棉花种植园主。
他矮小壮实，举止粗鲁，长着圆滚滚的脑袋和浅灰色的眼珠，一看就叫人生厌。
在路格里种植园里的奴隶过着牛马不如的悲惨生活，汤姆和其他黑奴们整日在监工的皮鞭下进行繁重的劳作。
每天天刚破晓，他们便下地，稍有懈怠便会挨打，这样一直要到晚上他们才能拖着疲乏的步子回家。
所谓的家，只不过是一些十分简陋的小木屋，里面除了干草堆外别无他物，常常一间屋里要塞几个黑奴。
路格里对待奴隶残暴、凶狠，为了不让他们逃跑，他豢养了一群凶猛的狗。
一天，汤姆和一群奴隶正在棉花地里干活，当他看到一个女奴病病歪歪、全身发抖，似乎就要累倒时，就把自己袋里的棉花倒了一些在她的袋子里。
这事被监工看见，立即用鞭子抽打了那个女人，又跑到路格里面前告了汤姆的状。
下工后，路格里蛮横的叫住了汤姆，要汤姆鞭打那女人一顿。
可汤姆却不软不硬地说：“请求老爷宽恕，这种事情我从没有做过，也做不了。
”路格里于是大怒：“没有做过，我也要你学着干
”说罢，手起鞭落，汤姆脸上顿时起了一道血印，但他仍然坚决地说：“老爷，我决不会做，决不会这样做的。
”路格里又惊、又急、又气，接着又是一顿鞭打、脚踢，直打得汤姆遍体鳞伤。
可是汤姆毫无惧色，他仰望苍天，泪血交流，大声地说道：“你买下了我的肉体，却得不到的我的灵魂，我的灵魂不是属于你的。
” 汤姆遭了一场痛打，他的伤还未愈合，就被主人逼着下地干活了。
接下来的是日复一日的劳累和痛苦，对亲人的思念和希望破灭后的绝望情绪也深深地折磨着汤姆。
汤姆的身体在痛苦劳累中一天天跨下来，但他在内心把自己全部奉献给了永恒的上帝。
一天，在汤姆的协助下两个女奴逃跑了。
她们曾邀约汤姆一同逃走，但他坚持要留下来和可怜的黑奴们待在一起。
女奴的逃亡使路格里怒不可遏，他进行了一次大搜捕，可是一无所获。
他暴跳如雷，把怨气和憎恨一齐发泄在汤姆身上，因为他明白，汤姆知道整件事情。
实际上汤姆知道逃亡者的逃跑路线，也知道她们目前藏在什么地方，但他宁死也不愿出卖那个孤苦无依的人。
汤姆被抓到了路格里面前，他感到自己生命的最后时刻来临了。
可他平静地面对着暴力，毫不畏惧，心中所有的只是对吃人的奴隶制的愤恨，对凶恶的奴隶主的仇视和对众多黑奴的深切同情。
“我什么都知道，老爷，但是我什么也不能说，我宁愿死
”这就是他给路格里的回答。
路格里狂怒了。
他把汤姆摔倒在地，接着是一场惨无人道的鞭打，直打得老汤姆奄奄一息。
两天后，有位年青绅士驾着一辆轻便马车急匆匆地赶到了路格里种植园，他便是谢尔比先生的儿子乔治少爷。
乔治小时和汤姆叔感情深厚，后来因为汤姆被卖才分开。
他这次是专程来赎买汤姆叔，接他回家的。
乔治到了路格里家，见到了汤姆叔，可是一切都晚了，汤姆再也活不起来了。
但他终于见到了乔治少爷一面，脸上露出了宽慰的笑容。
乔治把汤姆葬在一个多沙的小丘上，他跪在汤姆叔叔的坟头说：“我向你起誓，从现在起，我愿尽我的一切力量，把可诅咒的奴隶制度从我们的国土上消灭掉。
” 乔治回到自己的庄园后，召集全体黑奴，发给每人一份自由证书，他实践了对汤姆叔叔的承诺。
