Huck and Jim's Relationship
The way that Huck thinks of Jim in the beginning vs in the end of the story changes significantly. At first Huck looks at Jim as if he is a piece of property, something without independent thoughts or feelings. He thought of him as being below him. He started moving toward the feeling that Jim is equal to him and he is an individual, while all of this is happening, it also seems to change his thoughts on slavery as a whole. Jim and Huck go on a long adventure and a lot a trust starts to grow between the two runaways.

I really like how Twain developed the two main characters in this novel. The relationship between these two is very interesting and dynamic.
ReplyDeleteI really find it sad that society used to view slaves as property instead of humans. We have come a long way from those sad days.
