Jim is meaningful to Huck Finn due to the companionship, experience and knowledge that he provided throughout the journey.
What aspects of Huck Finn’s personality and events in his life prompt T.S. Elliot’s analysis of him? Huck Finn has a much more solitary personality compared to everyone else in the story. Elliot believes that even though Huck Finn has friends, it is just that he is different than all of them. Huck does not really have a family, especially a good father figure, which has caused him to mature much faster than his friends. Eliot believes this is a leading cause to why he is different.

Jim and Huck Finn are both “uncivilized” people on the run. They are also polar opposites with Jim being an old, black slave. The time this novel takes place is around the civil war era, which replicates the way whites thought of blacks. As people progress through this novel a reader cannot see exactly how Huck Finn feels about Jim, but one can see he knows how he should feel about him. This does not really occur about how Huck should feel like
