With this blog I pretend to use hypothetical examples to show how censuring “Nigger” from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn would destroy its essence. So I asked for various opinions regarding this controversy and here are some responses:
“It’s like eating a hotdog without sausage”- Nicolas Zuleta
“ Its like going to Paris and not visit les champs elysees”- Anonymous
“ Its like being sober during new years eve”- Barnard "Barney" Gumble (Simpson’s alcoholic)
Based on the three previous responses we can see how people consider “nigger” a key element in Twains work. Without it, verisimilitude and racist criticism would disappear. The novel would not longer be innovative but rather dull. I believe the suppression of this word would turn the novel’s moral and creative essence into nothing but a boy’s journey with a slave…
