revelation may seem to come from an oppressed female, but later on in the story
we learn that protagonist could stand up for herself and for other women, like
in the airport incident. There again we were reminded of the way she was
brought up: "Once upon a time we were well brought up women; we were dutiful

the court, the reader is forced to see the corruption of society. The judge
rules that Huck belongs to Pap, and forces him to obey an obviously evil and
