17. How can we characterize the relationship between Huck and Jim? Does Huck ever view Jim as an equal, and vice versa?

Huck understands this and thus treats Jim poorly (such as when he plays tricks on Jim or looks down upon him), but after their time spent together as runaways, Huck begins to understand and respect Jim— and even care for him.
