This paper aims to examine how exclusive racism is revealed through the behaviors of white boys such as Huckleberry Finn and Tom and the other characters in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in the light of Darwin's evolutionary perspective. The racism shown in this novel has been spreading, rationalizing the dominant discourse of white people creating social conventions that blacks are inferior. This idea is already deeply embedded in the boys' consciousness. Huck, who symbolizes the abolitionist often makes a statement that ignores Jim, and Tom, who represents the white supremacist plays life-threatening prank to Jim. So this article refutes critics' arguments that favorably interpret Tom and Huck as boys who represent American vivid self. In doing so, it reveals Huck's arrogance to ignore Jim's excellence involuntarily and Tom's cruelty and hypocrisy, which Tom shows when he puts Jim at risk and compensates it to him with money, even throwing white people into confusion. By realizing that Tom's play is no longer an innocent one, the readers find out the racism is dangerous enough to destroy the lives of white people as well as the lives of black people.
Abstract
This paper aims to examine how exclusive racism is revealed through the behaviors of white boys such as Huckleberry Finn and Tom and the other characters in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in the light of Darwin's evolutionary perspective. The racism shown in this novel has been spreading, rationalizing the dominant discourse of white people creating social conventions that blacks are inferior. This idea is already deeply embedded in the boys' consciousness. Huck, who symbolizes the abolitionist often makes a statement that ignores Jim, and Tom, who represents the white supremacist plays life-threatening prank to Jim. So this article refutes critics' arguments that favorably interpret Tom and Huck as boys who represent American vivid self. In doing so, it reveals Huck's arrogance to ignore Jim's excellence involuntarily and Tom's cruelty and hypocrisy, which Tom shows when he puts Jim at risk and compensates it to him with money, even throwing white people into confusion. By realizing that Tom's play is no longer an innocent one, the readers find out the racism is dangerous enough to destroy the lives of white people as well as the lives of black people.
