Jim's Daughter

Huck wakes up to find Jim in tears thinking about his daughter. He was thinking about when she had scarlet fever and eventually became deaf. He tells Huck how he hit her when she wasn't doing as he said, but she couldn't due to her deafness. Jim felt so bad for what he had done and still can't forgive himself for doing it. This is significant because Jim has always forgiven Huck for anything bad he has done to him. This also shows a very compassionate side to Jim, which we have seen before. But, this scene really shows how much Jim cares.
