Abstract:Racial problems are one of the most typical and sensitive problems in American society. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which is written by Mark Twain, is a clear mirror to the racial problems and to the American society. 

This paper is going to describe the racial discriminations in America through describing Jim’s bitter experiences of being sold, being hunted after, being fooled by Tom. The main purposes of this paper are to reflect the influence that the slavery does on a black slave, to demonstrate the racial problems in this novel as well as to express the author’s love of democracy, equality and freedom.

Key words: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; racial discriminations; slavery; freedom
