Twain's use of understatement in "Life on the Mississippi" helps to downplay the seriousness of certain events or situations, allowing readers to see the humor in them. By using understatement, Twain creates a more light-hearted and satirical tone, making his social commentary more accessible and engaging for his audience.
The narrator in Twain's story finds Simon Wheeler tedious and lacking humor due to his long-winded storytelling style and focus on irrelevant details, which hinder the storytelling progress and comedic elements. This leads the narrator to feel frustrated and comically trapped by Wheeler's storytelling.
