Mark Twain's Criticism Of Huckleberry Finn

Great Essays
Mark Twain has had to deal with many critics when concerning his works, such as Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. This is a result of his utilization of derogatory terms. Various books that he has authored have been banned from schools for the “‘slave, ’‘negro,’ and ‘nigger.’” “Nigger” has brought a “firestorm of criticism” upon Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The number of times “nigger” is found in the book has the possibility to stun readers, however the word alone was sufficient of claim this novel, and others, “banned or opposed.” “Critics and scholars of Twain have posed two very important questions on this topic: Was Twain insensitive? And was his a racist book?” (Tharp and Sloan)

There are a couple of critical focuses to specify here also, beginning with Innocents Abroad. Every one of the three terms were found in Innocents Abroad, with there being one notice of "nigger," thirteen notice of "negro," and fourteen employments of "slave." Surprisingly, "nigger" does not show up in the short section where Twain depicts the "negro" aide he and his kindred explorers procured in Chapter 23. While both "negro" and "slave" show up in this entry, the one time "nigger" is found in Innocents Abroad is in a reaction given by an artist in Chapter 10 where he thinks about a "nigger" to a representative and a pilot to accept his contention. Another point that should be specified is the utilization of "nigger" all through The Adventures of Tom Sawyer as per Huckleberry Finn. It should be noticed that Huckleberry 's movement of sentiments can be taken after just by paying consideration on the entries where he, and Tom, utilize "nigger." In the initial couple of sections, Huckleberry utilizes the term, and perspectives the general population it speaks to, also to the way Tom does. Later on, in any case, his supposition starts to split far from the white collar class perspective of slaves at the time. It 's here where he begins to build up the feelings and practices that he will keep on nurturing in Adventures of Huckleberry

    Freedom of expression is a uniquely American tradition, at least to the extent we have here. Amy Witherbee, a researcher who studies how democracy and censorship go hand and hand said “At the core of censorship is always a parallel belief in the ability of an idea to alter lives and change nations. The challenge is to let those ideas wreak their havoc, and trust in our capacity as the citizens of a democracy to make of the damage something better than what was there before. If, on the other hand, we close down the arguments, retract the controversies, and avoid the challenges, then what we have is not a real democracy, but a nation afraid to lead itself” (Witherbee Par. 12). The First amendment is in place to protect citizens from censorship.…

    Nigger' was what made slavery possible," (White). The n-word and the word slave are two completely different words, the n-word comes with so much demeaning that slave does not have. By treating these words as interchangeable, the message that all African Americans are slaves would emerge, making it difficult for Twain to expose his true purpose behind The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The purpose behind this novel was that Twain wanted to expose the wrongdoing of judging someone by their ethnicity, and Twain can not teach this message of race without the racial slur. Many school districts across the United States have decided to banned this classic book because of its diction, but it is the diction that helps carry the message.…

    During most of the United States’ history, racism had defined the social classes, but in the developing years of the United States, it became a trend that spread throughout the nation. At the time, few authors dared to admit their society’s standards allowed their people to become callous and cold over something like the color of an individual’s skin and their origin, and the few who disagreed with the state of society did not write about it, in fear of their reputation. Only a few authors chose to write novels which reflect the true nature of the south without toning down the less desirable aspects such as the crude lifestyle of the poor, and the cruelty of some people due to racism as critic David Smith; he explains that "The book takes special note of ways in which racism impinges upon the lives of Afro-Americans, even when they are legally 'free '" (363). At the time, whites thought freedom meant no longer enslaving blacks, but racism became a new kind of enslavement that disguised itself as harmless prodding to make sure blacks did not surpass the whites. Twain hopes to reveal the hypocrisy in society’s expectations to his readers through the means of characters such as Huckleberry Finn and Jim to contradict and satirize them.…

    Twain manages to expose America’s terrible racism, specially with the overused word “nigger”. His use of humor and irony camouflage the anti-racism message that the characters deliver. For example, Pap’s character provides the story with a strong contrast between terrible whites and respectable blacks. Likewise, Jim’s portrayal highlights the unjust treatment toward slaves at the time. Today, the novel as a whole serves as a reminder of the horrors of slavery in order to prevent our history to repeat…
