Twain’s problematic ending of Huck Finn

The adventures of Huckleberry Finn is k nown as one fabrication that has brought controversy from the time it was published in the course 1884 (Pearl par 1). It was banned in major public libraries military personnely referring to it as trash. Currently, many regard it as a classical Ameri stinker sassy though others static critic it in one argona or the other. It is a novel from where completely modern literature was derived and modern scholars and critics now treats it as great work of art in America (Pearl par. 1). by chance the greatest irony is that though it received great criticism, of all the MTs novels, it is the one that sold most immediately when it was published.Hunk Finn, as it is commonly referred to, is set in the dischargeissippi river town of St. Petersburg, Missouri and the non-homogeneous locations along that river through Arkansas (SparkNotes, screen 21). The major conflict in the novel is portrayed as the main lineament ( athletic supporter), Huck strug gles with a society (antagonist) that is trying to civilize him. The conflict is also intensified as Hunk deals with Jim who is a black slave since Hunk must try whether to reject Jim and please the society or protect him and follow his conscience. This move shows that Twains ending of the novel betrays the true subject of the work.The novel ends with the three boys Huck, gobbler and Jim escaping from a shed where they had been surrounded by around fifteen farmers guarding Jim, the black slave (Twain 361). They make a hole in the wall to escape but as they does, Tom makes some tone and what follows is the shooting that leaves a bullet in Toms branch who portrays himself a hero. However, Huck and Jim are concerned ab come on the condition of the wooden leg and upon Jims suggestion they go to look for a doctor. This only worsens things for Jim who is captured by the locals and is chained as they bring Tom home on a mattress accompanied by the doctor.By this time Huck has alread y reckoning home having left the two boys alone. The locals arrive decided to hang Jim though no one does it as they are afraid of compensating the slave owner. They are on that pointfore left with no other option than to treat Jim most until the time when the doctor comes and saves him by explaining that it is him who in fact saved Toms leg from deteriorating by nursing him (Twain 377). When Tom however learns that Jim was still in chains, he reveals to them that in fact Jim had already been set dispense with thus was no longer a slave.This allows the reader to glimpse the character trait of Tom. Though he had known all along that Miss Wanton who had died two months earlier had set Jim openhanded in her will, he did not say it because he felt that they needed to device a good course of study to rescue Jim. If he had said it earlier, Jim could not gull asleep(p) through the sufferings that he had experienced. Huck arrived and on enquiring from Tom what he would do if Jim w as freed he replied that he devicened to repay Jim for all his troubles and displace him off as a hero.And he said, what he had planned in his head from the start, if we got Jim out all safe, was for us to run him down the river on the raft, and have adventures plumb to the mouth of the river, and then tell him about his cosmos free, and take him fend for up home on a steamboat, in style, and pay him for his lost time, and write word ahead and get out all the niggers around, and have them waltz him into town with a torchlight procession and a brass-band, and then he would be a hero, and so would we (Twain 387).The Phelpses and Aunt Polly dislodge Jim and feed him on hearing that he helped the doctor to nurse Tom. He is also considern forty dollars as a payment for all his troubles (Twain 387). Tom and Huck are not through with their adventure and plan to go for another one to the Indian territories. Huck thinks that Pap had taken all the money but it is Jim who informs him th at in fact the dead man he had seen in a floating house was Pap (a uncivilised and drunk father).It is clear that though the writer of the novel was initially foreland to the right direction in his writing, he looses focus (it may have been intentionally) as he comes to end of the novel in the way he presents the relationship between Huck and Jim. All along, the two boys had been together short-lived through hardships and challenges during their adventure. They are seen doing different things together for example have to encompass the inheritance of the Silk sisters in a coffin away from the greedy male monarch and Duke. Huck even comes to a time when he had to decide whether to give the remaining Gherkin (food) from his provisions to Jim or take it himself (Paine Par. 20). Therefore every reader expects Hucks emotional attachment with Jim to grow. However when Tom appears, a different picture is portrayed with Huck remaining quiet when, they let out Jims life by not telling Phelpses that Jim had already been released by the former Slave master and instead decides to device a plan as part of their adventure.When Jim goes to get the doctor, Huck leaves and runs to his uncles place go away his friend. So then I crept into a lumber-pile to get some quiescence and next time I waked up the sun was away up over my head I shot out and went for the doctors house, but they told me hed gone away in the night some time or other, and warnt back yet. Well, thinks I, that looks powerful bad for Tom, and Ill dig out for the island right off. So away I shoved, and turned the corner, and nearly rammed my head into Uncle Silass stomach (Twain 367).The other riddle arises because though the novels subject is directed to the report card of freedom, at the end Jim who is supposed to be free is not still free. This scum bag be attributed to the mistake that Tom made though intentionally. Jim, who has been technically free for all that time they were in the adventure, is still bound in chains, branch in the home of Phelpses before the escape and then by the locals who captured him when he went to bring the doctor who would treat Tom. It is ridiculous that Miss Wanton can not set Jim free when she is alive and has to wait till she dies and does it in her will. Old Miss Watson died two months ago, and she was ashamed she ever was going to cover him down the river, and said so and she set him free in her will. (Twain 383) In conclusion, it is clear that the work of Mark Twain was based on the theme of racism, slavery and freedom thus different readers can critic it development different views. The plot flows smoothly from the beginning but the problem arises in the ending as the reader is left wondering why there is no development in Hucks character -who is the protagonist and who is supposed to develop in all areas as the plot develops.
