So today we were analyzing Huck Finn for satire, and we were talking about the chapter where Huck is trying to trick Jim into thinking that Jim dreamt Huck being separated in the fog. My teacher said that Jim knew Huck was tricking him the whole time and that he was just playing along by interpreting the dream and acting fooled. I always thought that Jim was actually fooled until the end. Am I right, or have I been reading this book wrong the whole time?

What logical basis does she have for that? Jim's a stupid nigger and is always sincere, why would you assume that?

that picture is a jumble of different forms of nihilism

>knowledge is not possible and some aspects of reality do not exist as such
I consider myself fairly nihilistic, but i've never understood what they mean by this.
Is it descartian or because of observational bias or what?

This. Your teacher is a hack fraud

Jim isn't "always sincere" and he is probably one of the smarter characters of the novel.
>>7683566
The book literally ends with Jim admitting he lied to Huck about his father

Yea, but in this situation I would say that Jim wasn't acting. I'd say he was genuinely fooled and then hurt by Huck
