“ ‘Good-bye, sir,’ say I; “I won’t let no runaway niggers get by me if I can help it.” Twain 96
In this passage it is a great source of irony that resides in this chapter of the Adventures of Hucklberry Finn. This is irony because Huck says that he will not let any run away slaves get by him when at the same time he is aiding a slave to escape the south. This is also ironic in that his conscience is telling him that it is wrong to help a run away slave to freedom when he really is helping a runaway slave obtain freedom and at the same time he is saying that he will not allow any runaway slaves get to their freedom.
