Words: 549 - Pages: 2.... of society.
The judge rules that Huck belongs to Pap, and forces him to obey an
obviously evil and unfit man. One who drinks profusely and beats his son.
Later, when Huck makes it look as though he has been killed, we see how

The theme becomes even more evident once Huck and Jim set out, down
the Mississippi. Huck enjoys his adventures on the raft. He prefers the
freedom of the wilderness to the restrictions of society. Also, Huc .....

is sensitive to the censorship that women once faced and would show
interest to the "possible future" that could result.
Offred is symbolic of "every woman". She was conventional in prior

comment on how the blame is placed on Janine. Is this because Offred has
begun to accept the words of Aunt Lydia, or more likely, is she silent to
create emphasis on the horrific deed? The answer is easily satisfied when
