Yes. An absolutely cruel and evil slaver who beats the ever loving snot out of any of his slaves. His attempts to break Tom's spirit are disturbing, and many of his other crimes? Such as raping or killing the women? Yeah, that's just the extra icing on the cake. As most sociopaths, he sees his slaves as his property and his own little toys for his whims, like beating them for little to no reason at all. In most works of fiction, purely evil villains would usually be enjoyable and atleast a bit cool and entertaining to see with their evil, but Legree, over here? Nope, since this is a type of realistic setting, we have no enjoyment to this monster. The real kicker to all this? His sheer sadism and enjoyment for all the things he did. In the real world, the disturbing part is that there ARE people like Simon Legree. Dozens of people who once did what Legree did: had dozens of African American slaves.
