Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly,[1][2] is an anti-slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Published in 1852, the novel "helped lay the groundwork for the Civil War", according to Will Kaufman.[3]
Stowe, a Connecticut-born teacher at the Hartford Female Seminary and an active abolitionist, featured the character of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering black slave around whom the stories of other characters revolve. The sentimental novel depicts the reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as enslavement of fellow human beings.[4][5][6]
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.[7][8] It is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s.[9] In the first year after it was published, 300,000 copies of the book were sold in the United States; one million copies in Great Britain.[10] In 1855, three years after it was published, it was called "the most popular novel of our day."[11] The impact attributed to the book is great, reinforced by a story that when Abraham Lincoln met Stowe at the start of the Civil War, Lincoln declared, "So this is the little lady who started this great war."[12] The quote is apocryphal; it did not appear in print until 1896, and it has been argued that "The long-term durability of Lincoln's greeting as an anecdote in literary studies and Stowe scholarship can perhaps be explained in part by the desire among many contemporary intellectuals ... to affirm the role of literature as an agent of social change."[13]
The book and the plays it inspired helped popularize a number of stereotypes about black people.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."
Answer: Juliet Threatens to stab herself in Friar's Cell- Act 4 Scene 2... mirrors that of Act 2 scene 5 in which Friar Lawrence advises Romeo to love moderately and not let love be toxic-ally intensified when he say's, " these violent delight have violent ends."
Explanation:
Shakespeare emphasizes the exhilaration that comes with love- specially first time love from two teenagers. The excitement and eagerness that is equally shared between Romeo and Juliet relationship is what makes the piece a full- blown romance. The long- lined pledges of affection and rumored actions - (climbing a ladder) further stretch the intimacy and affection of the characters. However it is this eagerness that ties in with the toxicity Friar mentions. The pair were so in love that they decided to shrug the already decades' long feud between their two families and date in secret. Within a few short days the pair eloped and were ready to pack their bags and leave their families, their home and their pasts. The two were so madly in love that they proclaimed they didn't want to live if they weren't in each other presences. That being said Juliet stating to Friar that if Romeo were to be banished from Verona, she would stab herself because she couldn't handle living without him even if it meant taking her life further makes Friars point. Love often times blinds- and how this story panned out it is safe to say two wore blindfolds.
