	SparkNotes: Complete Text of Uncle Tom's Cabin: Chapter 32
		In the wagon was seated Simon Legree and the two women, still fettered together, were stowed away with some baggage in the back part of it, and the whole company were seeking Legree's plantation, which lay a good distance off.
		Legree had been drinking to that degree that he was inclining to be very gracious; and it was about this time that the enclosures of the plantation rose to view.
		Legree had trained them in savageness and brutality as systematically as he had his bull-dogs; and, by long practice in hardness and cruelty, brought their whole nature to about the same range of capacities.

		The sharp religious contrast between Uncle Tom and Simon Legree is displayed by Stowe as an extension of the region-class-religion link.
		Legree considered himself the center of life on the plantation whether it be worldly or otherworldly.
		The two classes portrayed by Uncle Tom and Legree were at opposite ends of the social spectrum, thus it should not be surprising that their religiousness also differed greatly.

	The Right Moral Path of Uncle Tom's Cabin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Both Eva and Tom's manners of death are highly religious and spiritual; Tom spends his death forgiving Simon Legree,while Eva, with nobody to forgive, manages to be true to her name and evangelize until the end; her last words are of the love and peace of Heaven (257).
		Legree's offers to Tom, that he should give him power as the highest of overseers on his plantation, if only Tom would give up his morals about whipping others (and thus, presumably, his religion) are a parallel to Christ's temptation, by Satan, during his forty days in the desert.
		Tom loves even his enemies, like Simon Legree, who he is willing to save at the cost of his own life, a strong echo of Christ (358), but Tom's love pales in comparison to Eva's.

		Paul Simon writes with a singular sensivity and poignancy here about the alienation and futility of much of contemporary urban life, and in such breath-taking efforts as "7 O'clock News/Silent Night", this is evoked with such beauty and artfulness that one is simply moved by the genius involved here.
		Paul Simon is one of the greatest lyricists of the last fifty years, in any musical genre.

	CliffsNotes::Uncle Tom's Cabin:Book Summary and Study Guide
		Cassy’s sexual power over Legree is reinforced by his superstitious fear of her—a combination that seems also to have its effect upon the overseer Sambo and perhaps upon the other slaves in the field, who seem to resent this strangely beautiful woman but keep their distance from her.
		Cassy has attempted another murder, of the man who betrayed her “husband” and sold her children, and she is now considering the murder of Simon Legree.
		Perhaps Legree knows of her history of killing and knows that this act is said to become easier with practice.

		And she is not the protagonist, Simon is. As the narrator, he insists that Harriet gave him a bum rap because she secretly dreamed of being Cassy, his favorite slave girl.
