Blog – What trick does Huck play on Jim? Why is he tricking him now when he didn’t want to before?
Huck comes across a rattlesnake in the cave so he kills it and as a joke he curls it up and puts it on Jim’s bed. Now at the time when he decided to do this I’m sure it seemed harmless and funny but what he forgot is that the mate of the rattlesnake would join the dead one and since Jim didn’t notice either of the rattlesnakes he was bitten. Huck originally didn’t want to play a trick on Jim because he didn’t want to get caught, but now him and Jim are living together on this island so to Huck he’s just playing a harmless trick on a friend just for the fun of it. Plus Jim had told Huck that it was bad luck to touch a snake skin and I think that Huck kind of wanted to prove that their was no harm in it but after the incident with the rattlesnake he decided that perhaps there was something to snake skins being bad luck.
