《汤姆叔叔的小屋》的圣经原型解读

A Biblical Archetypal Interpretation of Uncle Tom's Cabin

废奴主义经典之作《汤姆叔叔的小屋》中包含大量的圣经原型,主要体现在人物形象、情节及主题方面。作者斯托夫人在小说中提出了解决奴隶制度的方案,她认为唯有爱的力量才能最终消除罪恶的奴隶制度。小说既具有丰富的宗教内涵,也无可避免地具有局限性,这正是导致现代人曲解它的问题所在。

Uncle Tom's Cabin is American authoress Stowe's anti-slavery classic novel. This novel includes lots of biblical archetypes,such as archetypal characters,plots and themes. This thesis attempts to reveal abundant religious connotations of Christianity in this novel in order to have a deep discussion on Stowe's solution to slavery and illustrate where the modern misinterpretation and bias lie. For Stowe,only the power of love can ultimately defeat the evil slavery.
