On pages 209 and 210, Twain satirizes hypocrisy when the Shepherdson’s went to church. The sermon was about brotherly love, good works, and grace. All of the Shepherdsons and Grangerfords said it was a nice sermon. Ironically the Shepherdsons and Grangerfords were trying to kill each other but they were also talking about brotherly love and free grace. When it came to the feud between the families they didn’t think about brotherly love or about the sermon. They were hypocrites. Twain ironically uses the Shepherdsons and Grangerfords to show how some people can go to church, say stuff about brotherly love, free grace and God but then keep a grudge against someone. Twain want to change people who are hypocritical.
