Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin plays an important part in the abolition of the slavery system under which many African Americans had to endure harsh conditions for their whole survivals. In this novel, Stowe mainly criticizes ruthless male characters because they continuously exploit black people. To emphasize women’s constructive roles, Stow contrasts brutal males with kind-hearted women and then deftly focuses the women’s subtle but effective alternative choices. When their views are not accepted, women conjure up several practical strategies to nullify the men’s vicious and inhumane decisions. Tom, the hero of this novel shows tenderness which can be regarded as woman’s quality. However, as the novel develops, Tom’s faith in Christianity and his love for Jesus Christ continued to expand. Mrs. Shelby, Cassy, Mrs. Bird, Rachel Halliday, and Eva represent diverse women’s voices which affect readers to participate in the abolition of the slavery system and to cooperate in the escape of black people. In this paper, I seek to connect these women’s quality with that of Cassandra who predicts the destruction of Troy. And in this vein, we can say Stowe’s role is similar to Cassandra’s in that Stowe has an insight of America without having slavery system and racial discrimination.
