how man can be cruel

“Human being can be awful cruel to one another”
Huck says this when he sees the King and Duke after they have been tar and feathered. This is odd for Huck to thank this about people who just traded away Jim. It is also odd because they brought this on to them selves by wanting to get rich by doing the least amount of work and in such a low down way. Huck is being vary ignorant to what these people have been doing to innocent people. He thinks the king and duke are just good people doing wrong but they are bad people after Huck first saved them they did not thank them but wanted Jim and Huck too be there servants this is not what good people do.

I agree with you about the Duke and dauphin. They are good people but they just do the wrong things. Even though, they sold Jim away Huck felt sorry for them because they got tarred

I agree with you on the all around thought that is the Duke and King being the bad guys. I don't agree with you in your explanation of why, though. You said that Huck is ignorant about what they do when he knows more then they do. He isn't ignorant about it but he still feels sorry for them. I'd say it is more ironic then ignorance.
