Olivia examined these motifs in the novel: resurrection and character development. First, we discussed Huck's recognition that Jim, a run away slave, is a human being . This development occurs in the same chapter where again Jim thinks Huck has died . We focused on Twain's stylistic achievement by correlating character development and metaphorical rebirth. Next, we addressed the theme of the role of conscience as Huck struggles with the moral choice of whether to have Jim arrested. Olivia has been making good annotations in her book, and noted how in the novel Huck, as an archetypal American, forges a new moral code on the river where society's moral code does not govern.
