In chapter 22 Sherburn states that no will be able to lynch him in the day time. Likewise he states that the everyone in the mob are coward because they have more than enough people needed to lynch this one single person. That they are only half of a person. In addition all the members of the mob think as a collective group rather then individually. Twain ridicules the societies cowardice. For society won’t go against a person or the conformist ideas because there is no one to support them. Furthermore they fear on what others in the society will say. Where as the human weakness in society is how easily the acceptance of others’ ideas are. Rather than standing out and speaking there minds they will easily agree and act upon it.
I think in the upcoming chapters Sherburn will bring more trouble for Huck and Jim. Maybe they will turn in Jim just to receive the money. But what will this mean for Huck?
