The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Literary Analysis As many authors do, Mark Twain wrote about his personal feelings and experiences. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn his feelings about slavery are well presented. While reading this book certain feelings constantly arise. One of the most prominent of these emotions is that of sympathy for Jim. It is easy to feel pity for a slave in any novel, but especially what Jim experiences in Huck Finn. Mark Twain shows the horrors of slavery through Jim, but also acquires the reader’s sympathy for Jim in different ways. He deserves the reader’s sympathy because of the way he is viewed by Huck and society, the dehumanizing effects of Huck’s moral dilemma, and his constant humiliation at the hands of Huck. Huck seems to have mixed emotions about slavery. He tends to want to fit in with society and agree with slavery, but I think that deep in his heart all along he knew that it was wrong. While on the raft, Huck is able to view Jim as a friend and companion.
