摘要：本文作者采用加拿大著名文学批评家诺思洛普 弗莱的原型批评理论，从圣经原型的角度出发, 试图分析《汤姆叔叔的小屋》中的各类人物形象，比如汤姆叔叔、小伊娃、萨姆波和昆波以及几位虔诚的理想基督教徒母亲，以揭示这部小说中的宗教理念，并探讨斯托夫人解决奴隶制的办法。本文作者希望这篇论文对中国读者能从新的角度来欣赏这本经典著作有所帮助。
Abstract: With the application of the renowned Canadian literary critic Northrop Frye’s theory of archetype, the author in this thesis attempts to analyze various characters, such as Uncle Tom, little Eva, Sambo and
Qimbo and some pious, ideal Christian mothers in Uncle Tom’s Cabin in terms of Biblical archetype, to reveal the Christianity in this novel, and to probe into Mrs. Stowe’s solution to the institution of slavery. She hopes
this thesis will be of any help to Chinese readers to appreciate this classic novel in a new way.
Key Words: Biblical archetype character Christianity
