The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Who was Jim in the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 11:01 Last updated by Jill W on 23 Feb 13:29
Jim is a runaway slave, Huck's partner in adventure, and the cause of Huck's moral conflict in the novel. We don't find out until the end that Jim isn't actually a runaway after all.
