Huck's Continued struggle with society's restrictions and law now includes the more serious issue of race and slavery.  

quote:" Jim said it made him all over trembly and feverish to be so close to freedom. well i can tell you it made me all over trembly and feverish too hear him because i begin to get it through my head that he was most free." -huck ch16 pg84 ]]> 2019-10-01 19:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/daisy_mejia1_2/87hidvgss7pl/wish/392133885 daisy_mejia1_2 https://padlet.com/daisy_mejia1_2/87hidvgss7pl/wish/394227437 Both Huck and Jim seek freedom though they have very different ideas about what freedom means. This difference has to do in part with what each character feels he is winning freedom from. Huck for instance longs to be released from “sivilized” society. He feels suffocated by the restrictions imposed by heavy clothing, formal education, and, of course, domestic life.As for Jim he wanted to be free of bondage so that he can return to his wife and children.

Though nature imposes new constraints and dangers on the two, including what Huck calls “lonesomeness” a feeling of being unprotected from the meaninglessness of death, nature also provides havens from society and even its own dangers like the cave where Huck and Jim take refuge from a storm. In such havens Huck and Jim are free to be themselves and they can also appreciate from a safe distance the beauty that is inherent in the terror of freedom.

I owns myself en I's wuth eight hund'd dollars. i wish i had de money iwouldent want no more." - jim ch8 pg 41]]> 2019-10-07 03:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/daisy_mejia1_2/87hidvgss7pl/wish/394246946 daisy_mejia1_2 https://padlet.com/daisy_mejia1_2/87hidvgss7pl/wish/394248903 That being said, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn implies that people can be so free as to be, ironically enough, imprisoned in themselves. The duke and the king, for example, foils (or contrasts) to Huck and Jim, are so free that they can become almost anybody through playacting and impersonation. However, this is only because they have no moral compass and are imprisoned in their own selfishness. Freedom is good, but only insofar as the free person binds himself to the moral intuitions of his heart.
