Enslavement and Freedom- Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (ch.1-5)

So far in this novel (ch. I-VI), we are introduced to the theme enslavement and freedom. Huck Finn wants to be free of having good behavior, manners and society values. "Then she told me about the bad place, and I said I wished I was there. She got mad, the, but I didn't mean no harm. All I wanted was to go somewheres; all I wanted was a change, I warn't particular."(pg. 3) Huck wants the freedom where it is less boring and more accepting. Implying that he would rather go to hell than stay with Widow Douglas and her sister Miss. Watson. Another part in these few chapters that deals with freedom is in chapter 3 when Huck thinks about his father. "I didn't want to see him no more. He used to always whale me when he was sober and could get his hands on me; though I used to take to the woods most of the time when he was around." (pg. 12) I feel as if Huck is scared and helpless towards his father. He wants to be free of his father's control over him and its as if he wants his father dead instead of alive because he doesn't have to deal with the burden of his father taking him away from Widow Douglas. Another theme in this book is enslavement. We are introduced to this theme in chapter 2 of the novel. The character who suffers from this is Jim, a slave of Miss Watson. I feel bad for Jim because he has no rights or freedom and is look down upon by Huck and Tom because of the fact that he is black. Will Jim be free or will he continue to live the life he suffers the most as a slave?
