omg I hateeee the duke and the king these bozos are so annoying and they make up a decent part of the novel 🤥🤥😵

The chapter with buck always makes me cry

here we go again n

the ridiculous scenes are definitely satirical. Tom Sawyer is this representation of the faults of Romanticism and how its ideals are ridiculous in reality. Huck is presented as the realist then. He is determined on freeing Jim, not making their escape into something adventurous or dangerous.

Huck’s moment where he proclaims he accepts going to hell in order to help Jim escape slavery is profound. Here is a boy who has never really thought of religion at all up until this point. And in the face of fear of going to hell, he still decides to go with what he feels is right; helping Jim, his friend who has always done right by him. It’s strange to contend that a child can determine right more than society
