The Grangerfords and Shepherdsons
Tom Sawyer’s aunt and uncle, respectively, who are both good people and parents, upstanding members of their community, and yet who troublingly support the institution of slavery, exemplified by their detainment of Jim. Huck and Tom trick the Phelpses when preparing for Jim’s escape, much to Aunt Sally’s fury and Uncle Silas’s innocent befuddlement. Aunt Sally offers to adopt Huck at the end of the novel, but he refuses to be “sivilized” by anyone.
