Innocence was brought into the pages of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn about midway through the book. Twain showed different aspects of freedom. He examined it from every perspective, and considered carefully the actions of his characters. For example, in Jim's case his daughter was the innocent one. She suffered from a disease which left her deaf and dumb. Jim demanded her to do something and she refused by not responding. Jim then slapped her across the face and still received no response. The little girl could not hear her father's demands and therefore did not understand why she was being hit. Huck could also be considered innocent, and this is apparent when his pap locked him up for days. Huck had committed no wrong doing, yet he was punished. Huck was innocent in more than one way.

He ended up going with his conscience and continued to help Jim to freedom. Jim, himself, seemed to have had the greatest sense of morals in the novel.
