English 368: Project 2

Hello, Dr. Campbell, and anyone else who happens to stumble upon this wiki. We have decided to do an in-depth analysis of the characters and themes of Mark Twain's Pudd'nhead Wilson. On the Character Bios page, you can find a list of the main characters, with basic summaries and analyses of their significance to the story. Similarly, on the Chapter Analyses page, you will find summaries and critical analyses of a handful of chapters, which we have chosen specifically because we feel they best represent the main themes and plot points of the story. Some of the themes that we will be discussing are racism, nature vs. nurture, and betrayal. While we have been careful that our summaries will cover the relevant plot points, we write with assumption that our readers have already read the book, and therefore will not go into extensive detail in the summaries themselves.
