《汤姆叔叔的小屋》(1850)写于美国南北战争前十年,该书被认为强有力地推动了废奴运动.斯托夫人笔下的黑人忠厚朴实,善良勇敢;奴隶主却凶暴残忍,随意买卖和虐待黑奴.《飘》(1936)发表于奴隶制被废除70年后,作者玛格丽特·米切尔在书中塑造了刻板、愚笨、甚至危险的黑奴形象,与书中南方奴隶主高贵的形象形成鲜明对比.从分析两本小说对黑人形象,奴隶主形象,以及黑人与奴隶主关系的描写差异,探讨斯托夫人与格丽特·米切尔对黑人形象和奴隶制态度的巨大差异的原因:两人的家庭背景和社会历史环境的差异,导致两位作者使用不同的角度创作,读者应区别对待.%Black slaves in Uncle's Tom's Cabin are honest,smart,brave and persistent,but they suffer a lot because of the slavery system. By contrast,black people in Gone with the Wind are dependant,stupid,stiff and even dangerous. The reasons for the different images of black slaves can be found via the analysis of the black's appearances and characteristics, the slave owners'characteristics and the relationship between the two. It concludes that due to the different historical stages,Mrs. Stowe and Margaret Mitchell wrote their novels from their own perspectives: Mrs. Stowe had great sympathy for black slaves and strongly agreed with the abolition of slavery while Margaret Mitchell longed for the good old days in the south when slaves were still part of their life.
