“I didn’t do him no more mean tricks, I wouldn’t done that if I’d ‘a’ knowed it would make him feel that way.”
Here, Huck feels bad about messing with Jim’s head. Huck is truly sorry for making Jim feel this way. This shows Huck’s compassion toward Jim, and Jim, being a slave, this also symbolizes Huck’s compassion toward all slaves. Here, Huck is treating Jim as an equal unlike everyone else in his society treats slaves. Most other people in Huck’s society would treat Jim like an animal and not even think about Jim’s feelings.
