Paperback. 36 pages. Dimensions: 8.5in. x 5.5in. x 0.1in.Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 3, 0, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen (Anglistik), language: English, abstract: 2 Usage of the N-Word in Huck Finn In the following section I will first examine how the N-Word was used in general in former times, then how Mark Twain used it in Huck Finn and finally why he employed it so often. Before I begin I would like to say that I am going to use the word nigger a lot of times in this paper. I do not want to insult anybody, but I have to mention it sometimes as I write about the term.

At the time of the Enlightenment, a human being was characterized by reason. This was underlined by the philosopher Descartes who stated cogito ergo sum (I think therefore I am). In the quote by Jefferson, the black community is considered as a people who does not think, but rather feels. It implies that blacks lack the most important feature of a human being, which is reason, and therefore cannot be considered as human. Before the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, this argument was a very common legitimation for slavery and for the use of nigger to refer to African Americans. The term itself was, for instance, used to distinguish a white and a black person with the same first name. When you say Nigger Jim it is evident that you mean a black slave, and not the white Jim. In addition to that, blacks were never addressed by Mr. or Mrs. , but rather by their first name or by Auntie or Uncle. Another interesting point is the fact that whites who supported blacks during the Civil Rights Movement were referred to as niggerlovers. In this exa This item ships from multiple locations.
