Essay / The role of Christianity in Uncle Tom's Cabin - 844
His master wants to keep him away from Eliza and forces him to marry within the plantation. George is a hardworking slave and his master does not seem to appreciate the praise he would receive. His master enjoys tormenting him and making his life not worth living because George is a slave. When George expresses his feelings to Eliza, she tells him to believe in God and to pray. George concludes, however, that his “heart is full of bitterness; [he] cannot trust God” (Stowe III). George's master's son also looks like his father. The son, Tom, is a cruel little boy because he beats horses and he beats George. Readers can infer that Tom will be like his father when he grows up because he is already beginning his training to become a slave master with cruelty and callousness like his own.
