At the start, he does not really care for Jim because he was brought up to think that he was better than Jim because Jim was black. This is shown while they are travelling together. He sees Jim as unintelligent. For example when Jim tells him the story of how he lost all of his fortune, Huck listens intently but does not really show interest when he comments.

Although Thady Quirk claims to be true and loyal to the family, key moments during the narrative depict his intentions as being quite possibly the opposite, due to his effective assistance in his own son's takeover of the estate. At the beginning of the story, Thady takes prides in how he’s called by everyone “honest Thady.” If he’s truly honest, then his account of every event would be reliable, true, and accurate.

In his old society creativity, curiosity, and being different was a sin. The best in him was his creativity, his curiosity, and his ability to think for himself so he was different.
With the use of understatement and irony, the letter states his values as a loving, yet strict father who only wants his son to succeed and nothing more. "I confess I have often my doubts whether [my writing] is of any use to you", the first line in Chesterfield's letter, shows that he is doubtful as to whether or not his advice will help his son. The use of understatement is very clear here, as Chesterfield is making it seem like his words aren't as important as they really are. "I know how unwelcome advice generally is" is a clear example of this. Chesterfield is making his words feel unnecessary and not worth the time to read.
