a major argument among literary critics whether
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain,
is, or is not a racist novel. The question comes
down to the depiction of Jim, the black slave, and
to the way Huck and the other characters treat
him. The use of the word nigger is a main point
raised by many critics, who feel that Twain uses

exploited in 1879, during a time known as The
Victorian Era. Nora's character, in A Dolls House,
