Huck 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 also helps Huck in the building of his own conscience and character.

The conventional morality of the South during Hucks time is that slaves are property and have very little if any rights.

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.
