Best Answer

He felt ashamed of having lied to Jim, especially for a stupid joke. It is then that Huck realizes, all the way through, that Jim is a real person, just like himself. All his life he has been taught that blacks aren't people, are just a sort of "donkey with hands". Now he knows (without quite understanding what he has just been through) that what he has been told is not the truth. At this point he becomes more moral than the people who taught him all these lies (even though most, if not all of them don't realize they are lying, either). You could say that at this point Huck grows up, but later on in the book he is still too childish to make Tom quit playing around with Jim's escape. He respects Tom's judgment ahead of his own, but Tom has not grown up the way Huck has, and still doesn't think of Jim as a person. Ultimately, Huck is a weak character.

No, Huck's initial response to Jim's plight does not seem reasonable as he considers turning Jim in as a runaway slave. However, throughout the story, Huck's views on slavery and Jim's humanity evolve, showing his growth and moral development.

Why is hucks response to jims rebuke significant?

Huck's response to Jim's rebuke is significant because it demonstrates his growing empathy and understanding of Jim as a human being. It marks a turning point in their relationship, where Huck starts to see Jim as a friend and equals, rather than just property or a means to an end. This moment paves the way for their deep bond to develop throughout the rest of the narrative.
