• Blog – What do you make of the last chapter? Is this a happy ending for Huck and Jim?
The last chapter is a happy ending for Huck and Jim. It is a happy ending for Huck when the reader learns that Tom is now well and wears his bullet around his neck. For Jim, he becomes free. This chapter takes the novel back to the beginnings of the story when Aunt Sally tries to “sivilize” Huck. The last chapter could be hinting at yet another adventure for Huck when he announces that he will continue to try and avoid the trappings of civilization and find his own freedom.
