Huck's Moral Development In this episode Hucks morals develop in the sense that he learns to appreciate the little things. After he got taken in for a short while by the Grangefords he realizes that he does like the civilized lifestyle.
Satire- Twain is satirizing the religious hypocrisy of the southern whites in the 19th century. The two families feuding with each other but then going to church learning "all about brotherly love" but then proceed to killing each other blindly (Twain 112). This use of irony's convey how the two families put on act as a religous but do not follow the guidlines of their religon.
