Huck Finn
Lesson Outline
Nina contributed very astute observations on the significance of Huck's hiding the stolen money in Peter Wilke's coffin, noting the irony of a coffin acting as the vehicle to not only save the financial life of the Wilkes family , but also as a means to reintroduce the motif of death(and rebirth) as representative of Huck's moral rebirth . We studied Huck's internal dialogue wherein he contemplates the value of telling the truth, having himself told so many lies, and compared this passage with Huck's earlier struggle with conscience as textual examples of Huck's moral development . Last, we continued locating and discussing Twain's use of satire, in these chapters of the outlandish funeral obsequies of Peter Wilkes.
