Huck’s Voice As A Proxy, In Search Of Meaning

This article is based on history and a thorough study of Mark Twain’s work. I think the specialists might be over- thinking Twain’s intention when characterizing Huck and Jim. Overall the most important argument was given by Mr. Kaplan. He said, “If you can claim that this is a black voice speaking, I believe the objection to the word nigger is to some extent defused.” Yes, the two hundred repetition of the word “nigger” has a deeper meaning than its own. And as stated by Mr. Kaplan Twain might get away with the usage of this word by using Huck’s voice as a proxy.
