Pudd\'nhead Wilson by Mark Twain

Mark span lived during the epoch of slavery. As Twain wrote his fabrication Puddnhead Wilson, Twin had incorporated his political theory of slavery in his schoolbook. Although he addressed various point, I believe it was d whiz so in a keen manner to prevent the rejection of his text because of the time period he lived in.

Although not directly noting it in the text, there is an essence of satire in Twains style of writing.

In an alternative perspective, Twain could have stated that Roxy had a African background, and this is why she was given this way of life. However, the fact that he included an exact tot of her African heritage reflects on Twai ns apprehension of the foolishness of society....
