Watson in the beginning as a character that keeps herself from reasoning and goes along with everything that other people tell her. This is significant because in appearance she seems as some one who never cares about herself, only cares about others. Miss. Watson even once told Huck, " but she told me what she [Miss. Watson] meant - I must help other people, and do everything I could for other people, and look out for them all the time, and never think about myself. " (pg. 8). On the other hand Huck appears as someone who does not care about anybody but himself, " but I couldn't see no advantage about it - except for the other people - so at last I reckoned I wouldn't worry about it any more, but just let it go." (pg. 8). Based on his actions and the ones of his aunt and Miss. Watson, Huck feels bad that he does not do the listen to what everybody tells him and helps out Jim. The idea that Huck feels bad for not listening to his nice aunt and Miss. Watson that only wanted good for him and his society, is ironic because Miss. Watson was the one that told him to help out others and never think about others, but in reality never actually helped Jim while she was alive (she freed Jim only in her will), felt or even thought about feeling sympathetic for him. Widow Douglas based her actions on what the book told her and what her society told her. Miss. Watson never reasoned and never actually realized that Jim is also a person who should be helped out. Huck did not fit their society, " but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn't stand it no longer, I lit out. I got into my old rags, and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied." (pg. 1). Huck in contrast of Miss. Watson doesn't think that what Miss. Watson says to him is right and yet he is the one that actually does what Miss. Watson tells him.
