Social Protest Novels: An Analysis of Stowe and Remarque
This eight-page undergraduate paper analyzes the social protest themes in Erich Maria Remarques twentieth-century novel, All Quiet on the Western Front, and Harriet Beecher Stowes pre-Civil War novel, Uncle Toms Cabin. The author notes that these two novels have become classics of modern literature because their authors combined plot, characterization, and theme to make powerful social statements about the human condition. As social protest novels, these works changed the attitudes of millions of people for the better by exposing the evils of war and human slavery.
