Abstract

The Known World and The Help respectively. They have attempted to reflect the effect of slavery and racism on African Americans. Edward Jones in The Known World seems to have a different viewpoint from that of Stockett. He tries to reveal the terrible effects of slavery whether it is practiced by a White master or a Black master and this is reflectped clearly in the novel. He tackles an innovative topic in which a slave becomes a slave owner (Henry). The main issue here is that when William Robbins (the White master) sees Henry playing with his slave, Moses, he blames him and gives him a list of advice and showed him the consequences that might happen to him if he continues in this way with his slaves. Jones does not tackle slavery from the side of White masters and he does not focus mainly on color, he is really interested in showing and proving that slavery ruins anything, anyone and any society.
