His master wants to take him away from Eliza and forces him to marry on the plantation. George is a hard-working slave and his master doesn't seem to appreciate the praise he would receive. His master likes to torment him and make his life not worth living because George is a slave. When George expresses his feelings to Eliza, she tells him to believe in God and to pray. George, however, concludes that his “heart is full of bitterness; [he] cannot trust in God” (Stowe III). George's master's son is also like his father. The son, Tom, is a cruel little boy because he beats horses and beats George. Readers can infer that Tom will be like his father when he grows up because he is already starting his training to become a slave master with cruelty and callousness like his.
