Eliza is the most courageous character because she is an intelligent, beautiful, and brave young slave. After Mr. Shelby makes known his plans to sell Eliza’s son, she proves the force of her motherly love as well as her strength of spirit by making a escape. Her crossing of that river on patches of ice is the novel's best scene.

The most courageous character is (uncle tom) as though he finds himself in a (lose,lose) situation, tom uses his essential needs to take care of little eva. Though his attire is a pulchritudinous view to the other slaves, to show his religion actually led him to a better place. Little eva realizes that uncle tom should have more worth than he has, but he is actually deprived of is dignity. Uncle tom is the most courageous character because the cruelness that he was accustomed to he overlooked it and trusted his religion.
