Huck Finn's relationship with slavery is very complex and often contradictory. He was raised to accept slavery. He can think of no worse crime than helping to free a slave. Despite this, she finds herself on the run with Jim, a runaway slave, and does everything in her power to protect him. Huck Finn grew up surrounded by slavery. His father is a violent racist, who launches into tirades at the idea of ​​free blacks roaming the countryside. Miss Watson owns slaves, including Jim, so no matter where she goes, the idea of ​​blacks as slaves is reinforced. The story is set around the 1840s, during a time when racial tensions were on the rise as Northern abolitionists tried to stir up trouble in the South. This provoked a reaction from Southerners, which entrenched the institution more than ever. Huck Finn could not be against slavery, because if he were, he would be a traitor to the South and its way of life. Huck's first moral dilemma comes when he meets Jim on Jackson's Island. Huck's initial reaction to the news of Jim's escape is shock, he couldn't believe that someone could escape from his master. Huck promises to keep his secret, however, despite knowing that "people will call him a low-level abolitionist and despise him for keeping his mouth shut." Although Huck vehemently disagrees with the idea of ​​runaway slaves, he quite likes Jim, and so warns him that dogs are coming to the island. This shows that Huck's heart and mind are often at odds...
