The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

What does this excerpt reveal about Tom and Huck’s friendship? What about Tom’s moral character?

In Chapter 27, Tom admits that, “He did not care to have Huck’s company in public
places” (Twain 156).

In this quote, Twain reveals Tom's hypocrisy. He enjoys Huck's company, and he enjoys the fact that when he is with him.... he enjoys all of the things that make their friendship a kind of rebellion.
