Twain was able to add dualities and contrasting ideas in his book, Pudd’nhead Wilson. He did this in the novel in many ways, such as the difference among the characters Tom and Chambers. Not only were their social status different, but so were their characteristics. After being switched at birth, Tom, now “Chambers” and Chambers now “Tom” grew to recognize their status and act as rank provided. Tom developed a very harsh nature whilst Chambers developed a quiet, very obedient personality. Tom was a thief and he had a rude disrespectful personality. After Rocky told Tom that he was really a slave, he did not know what to say or how to act. He was so ashamed of being a slave.
