Huck Finn

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn In Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn the central characters, Huck and Jim, develop a meaningful relationship while journeying down the Mississippi River. Huck’s “civilized” idea of Jim is the same as most of the South, which is that Jim is a slave and therefor is less than human. Huck’s perception of Jim changes through the unfolding of the novels many themes. This understanding of Jim …

…as seen by Huck at the beginning of novel is not equal to him, but as their friendship grows this changes. Huck and Jim both learn to rely on each other and that they need one another. Huck risks his life to free Jim even though he knows it’s against what society believes. By the end of the novel Huck is a new man, he has claimed his own morals and conscience. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
