Stereotypical Portrayals and the Underlying Theme of Capitalism in "The Last of the Mohicans" and "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page contention that the story revealed in James Fennimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans" is essentially the same as that revealed in Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin". Both authors, although sympathetic to their respective characters plight, tend to employee stereotyping to convey their points which in reality is little different from the damaging stereotypical images we have held throughout history of both Blacks and Native Americans. While the characters have changed from red to black, societal oppression, aided by a stereotypical view of people who differ from the mainstream, is pivotal to the plot of both of these great classics.
