One of the central themes of Harriet Beecher Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin, is love. Stowe felt that love could bring an end to the evils of slavery, and be a redemptive force. There is one character in this novel that embodies complete, unfaltering, and unconditional love: this character is Eva St. Clare. The only thing that Eva hates is slavery and mistreatment of others. Eva displays many types of love through the novel as well. She shows maternal love, familial love, and of course Christian love. Eva (along with Tom) is as an obvious Christ figure as well. Christ also had to provide a sort of maternal and familial love to his disciples, and in doing this showed them the Christian way to love. Through her actions Eva had an incredible effect on every character she came into contact with.
