Many critics believe that each of the characters or situations that Huck and Jim encounter on their trip down the Mississippi represents an element of southern society in the 1840's. For instance, during our one of our last class meetings, we discussed how the feud between the Grangerfords and the Shepardsons satirizes the ridiculous emphasis on honor in the south during this time (think Colonel Sanders). What other symbols have you seen in chapters 19-25? Choose one character or event and discuss its importance as a symbol or satire.
