here is what i have found for you online. that is the analysis of 14 chapter. jim’s realist interpretation of the night’s events convinces huck that avoiding dangers in the future is reasonable. this is a maturation in terms of his pragmatism, but also in his regard for jim, whose intelligence he prejudicially dismissed before.   in addition to foreshadowing huck and jim’s adventures with the duke and king, this passage provides jim’s critique of wealth as expressed in his critique of solomon: he thinks that people with little cherish what they have all the more, whereas those with surplus devalue what they have. in addition, jim here criticizes a biblical hero as being a fool on the grounds that he is not caring enough, and while jim may be missing the point he is also not entirely wrong, either. the rest can be done by the experts i know. check   prime writings for more details.
