In all this world, there is only one thing that people fight for, and that is freedom. Also in Huckleberry Finn the main theme is based on freedom. Huck and Jim both come from different social classes and have different characteristics, but as human beings they both fight for freedom. Mark Twain's novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn illustrates the characteristics of Huck and Jim. Jim is more mature, while Huck is a more developing character, but both are fleeing society in search of freedom. Throughout the story Jim is characterized as a mature person and more of a moral catalyst. He is a loyal person and does not hate anyone, even if society ignores him (Brownell 1). Even when he was a slave, he did nothing wrong or cheated Miss Watson; rather he was very loyal to her. At no point in the story, did he hate anyone or complain to anyone even if society was against him. When he learned that Miss Watson was going to sell him, he was afraid of having to leave his family and in this situation he decided to run away. He always valued his family the most in his life, which clearly shows how much he loved and cared for his family. Jim has a very caring and loving nature, and to Huck he is more like a father figure rather than a friend. When he is with Huck, he is always worried about him. He is always teaching Huck something new and he loves it. When Huck lost in the river, he worried about him, which clearly shows that he is more than a friend to Huck. Huck sees in him the value of love and even more dedication to his responsibilities, something that Huck's fathers lack. Their relationship with each other is so deep that it goes beyond a friendship. Huck is more of a developing guy…middle of the road…doing his own thing. But that was not the case with the Widow Douglas. She didn't let him do his thing, but tried to teach him how to act. His father, Pap Finn, also loved him for money, so he tried to control him. They both haven't thought about Huck's feelings and what they are doing to him. so he decides to escape for mental freedom. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, two different characters and their characteristics are depicted. Jim is more mature, while Huck has a more developing character, but both are fleeing their society in search of freedom. Huck and Jim both come from a different social level and have different characteristics, but their main goal is one: freedom. Mark Twain is comparing American society, which calls itself civilized, to the relationship between Huck and Jim and their true civilized nature..
