Selection One
Uncle Tom’s Cabin (Harriet Beecher Stowe)
ASlave Warehouse! Perhaps some of my readers conjure up horrible visions of such a place.
They fancy some foul, obscure den, some horrible Tartarus “informis, ingens, cui lumen
ademptum.” But no, innocent friend! In these days men have learned the art of sinning expertly
and genteelly, so as not to shock the eyes and senses of respectable society. Human property is
high in the market; and is therefore well fed, well cleaned, tended and looked after, that it may
come to sale sleek, and strong, and shining. A slave warehouse in New Orleans is a house
externally not much unlike many others, kept with neatness; and where every day you may see
arranged, under a sort of shed along the outside, rows of men and women, who stand there as a
sign of the property sold within.
1. What is the social significance of this novel? Discuss it with reference to its theme.
2. What are the features of local colorism? Discuss the local colorism with reference to this novel.
Selection Two
Lady Lazarus (Sylvia Plath)
I have done it again.
one year in every ten
I manage it—
Asort of walking miracle, my skin
Bright as a Nazi lampshade,
