“The ideology about the supposed superiority of a race in the deformation of a project of social interaction reflected in the Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel Uncle’s Tom Cabin”.
Rationale:
“Why to write this work? Nobody asked it.
Then? Then, calmly,
I answer that there are too much stupid in this earth,
and because I say it,
it is necessary that I probe it”.[1]
Frantz Fanon.
I always have thought that no man is more than other, but now I’m not convinced of it. The main motif because I hesitate about such idea, is the type of stories such the presented in Uncle’s Tom Cabin. Surely I’m not the only one that asks how can be the mankind responsible of such atrocities. It seems that in the bottom exists an absurd necessity of making life more miserable, that others have to suffer in order to make some others happy, I mean, someone has to make the dirty job. In Stowe’s novel appear characters that justify such necessity according to their beliefs, the same beliefs that are target of critic by the author and because I got moved to develop this work focus on the racial problem and the manifest destiny, internal and external circles of the plot.
