Longfellow's Unique American hero in Evangeline Abstract: Longfellow's portrayal of the American Adam is set apart in that he does not praise this character as a role model for others. The concept of the American Adam is seen in a different light through the depiction of Basil in the narrative poem Evangeline. R.W.B. Lewis explores the quest of the writers of the American Renaissance to create a literature that is uniquely American in his 1955 text, The American Adam: Innocence
The angelic Evangeline we meet in Uncle Tom’s Cabin, by Harriet Beecher-Stowe, is a character to be remembered. Although she is a character that most feel is only used to foreshadow Tom’s death, she contributes a sense of hope that is not shown much of in the book. There are two main events that really do show how the character was meant to be portrayed in the book by Stowe. Those events are the almost-drowning of Evangeline and the tragic end to her life in the later chapters of the book. Stowe

Harriet Beecher Stowe’s book Uncle Tom’s Cabin is a well-known anti-slavery novel written in 1852. The story shows readers the reality of slavery while also asserting the theme that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as slavery.

She wanted to reveal, mainly to the northerners, the ghastly points of slavery, including the
