Slavery was some other issue that Twain touched on. He enters the bitter realm of social sarcasm and their beliefs on the issue of free slaves, almost to the point where it was unethical. A moment captured in chapter 16 describes when huck realized how real the consequence of the situation was. Well whats the use of learning to do right when its hard to do right and it aint no difficulty to do wrong, and the wages is just the equal? (116) He ascertains guilty for helping Jim to freedom, just realizes that if he turned Jim in, he would feel just the same.
