The conventional morality of the South during Hucks time is that slaves are property and have very little if any rights. This is the type of morality Huck has at the beginning of the novel, but slowly begins to see the truth and how society is wrong. There are two instances that stand out where Huck says that Jim appears to be human or "white inside". In chapter sixteen Jim says that the first thing he would do when he got to a free state would be to save up some money to buy h

ay games with each other's feelings. Huck actually feels sorry for this act and after awhile apologizes to Jim. This is Huck's first victory over himself and conventional morality. This is the focal point of where Huck begins to treat Jim with the dignity that is due to all human beings. Huck from this point will slowly no longer see Jim as a slave or a black, but as an equal to him. This will define their friendship throughout the novel.

These two themes combined to develop and complete a mature view of human experience for Huck as a person and how he sees Jim. 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.
