Tom Sawyer

Tom Sawyer

Tom is the main charater in this book, and has many different personalities depending on who he is with. While he is with Huck and Joe, he is a tough kid who is willing to do anything. While he is with Becky, he is a caring, sensative person. While he is with Aunt Polly, he is always concerned about how she feels about him (later in the book).


Huckleberry "Huck" Finn

Huck Finn

Huck is a boy who has no rules. He does whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and with anyone he wants. Huck is also hated by all the mothers in the town, because he swears as freely as he wants.


Joe Harper

Joe Harper

Joe is Tom's swarn best friend. On Saturdays, Tom and Joe are the generals of the "armies" that they each control. The 2 of them never fight, but rather talk as there groups fight. During the book, Tom and Joe often play Robin Hood, and they also sit next to each other at school.


Becky Thatcher

Becky Thatcher

Becky is the person Tom "falls" for during this book. She is the daughter of the Judge, who is very respectable. Tom and Becky get lost in a cave together later in the book, and that is when Tom and Becky really develop their character for one another, as Tom is caring and kind to her when she needed rest or when they were attacked by bats. In the beggining of the book, Tom and Becky get "married", but is shortly ended when Tom tells her that he was once involved with Amy Lawrence.


Aunt Polly is obviously the aunt of Tom, and she is taking care of him because Tom's father is unknown and his mother died. Since Tom is very mischievous, Aunt Polly knows that he needs discipline, but every time she hits her, she feels pain, but every time she doesn't, she feels the same pain.


Injun Joe

Injun Joe

Joe is one of the very important characters in the book because he is responsible for two of the four mainplots. He is the one who killed Dr.Robinson, and framed Muff. Later on he also planned to kill the widow douglas, and smuggle $12000 in gold across the border to mexico. Joe kept his money in a small area in the cave that Tom got lost in. Joe also died in that cave after being locked inside by the huge door.
