Shore vs.

In the beginning of the book, Huck shows his lack of love towards Widow Douglas because he hated the
fact that she was trying to civilize him. Huck “couldn’t stand it no longer, [and he] lit out. [He] got into
[his] old rags… and was free and satisfied.” (1/1) By getting back into his rags, it shows his disregard to
Widow Douglas’ love by going back to his uncivilized manner.

Huck exhibits his unconditional love for his friendship with Tom throughout the
novel. He goes along with all of Tom’s imagining and pretending, even though
he doesn’t believe it. “He said there was hundreds of soldiers there, and
elephants and treasure… I said alright…” (3/13)

Huck is unable to love Pap because he’s a drunk and abuses Huck. When
Pap is drunk he abuses Huck the most, and once he even tried to kill him.
“[Pap] chased me round and round the place, with a clasp-knife, calling me
the Angel of Death…” (6/29)

You Angel of Death!

Even when Huck sees that the town loves and cares for him once they do
everything in their power to find him, he refuses to reveal himself and return the
love the town feels for him. They even use “good bread” and dedicated their
time to finding him. He doesn’t reveal himself, showing his disregard for their
love. “Most everybody was on the boat… They all crowded up…” (8/38)

Huck starts to see Jim as more than a human and starts to consider his
feelings. He even goes against his own and society’s beliefs about slavery
“People would… despise me for keeping mum – but that don’t make no
difference.” (8/43)

Okay, I'll keep mum.

Huck shows remorse towards Jim by wishing he had never done the snake
joke. He’s considering Jim’s feelings; he even refers to himself as a fool for
trying to harm Jim. “That all comes of my being such a fool as to not
remember that wherever you leave… a snake its mate always comes…” (10/53)

Sorry I'm a fool...

Huck shows his evolving care for Jim by trying to save him from
getting caught by the white men. He could’ve turned Jim in on the
island like what his conscience says, but he wanted to save Jim.
“Git up and hump yourself, Jim! There ain’t a minute to lose.
They’re after us!” (11/63)

“Git up and hump yourself, Jim!
There ain’t a minute to lose. They’re
after us!”

Huck showed his lack of sympathy whenever he lied
to Jim about being lost and ended up confusing him. He
didn't think about Jim's feelings. “‘En all you wuz
thinkin ‘bout wuz how you could make a fool uv ole Jim
wid a lie… It made me feel so mean I could almost
kissed his foot to get him to take it back.” (15/86)

Oh no, I have to
turn him in!

No, I can't do that
to Jim!

When an opportunity presents itself for Huck to turn in Jim, he decides to lie
in order to protect Jim. His inner conflict battling whether or not to turn Jim
in was overpowered by his relationship with Jim. “Well, I just felt sick. But I
says, I got to do it – I can’t get out of it.” (16/90) Huck vs. Huck
