Aksionov’s wife, the soldiers, and the police officer.
 Ivan Dmitrich Aksionov is the protagonist, or main character, of the story. He is
a merchant heading to a fair. He has ''two shops and a house of his own''
showing a level of material success. His character goes through a transformation
during his imprisonment as he learns spiritual truths apart from the material
world.
 Makar Semyonich actually committed the crime that Aksionov is convicted of.
He meets Aksionov in prison, but he does not admit his guilt until Aksionov’s
upright behavior convicts his own conscience. In this way, he goes through a
spiritual transformation of sorts as well.

Aksionov not to go on the journey due to her dream. She appealed to the czar to
plead her husband’s innocence but was denied. She, herself, questions his

ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER


 Tom Sawyer - The novel’s protagonist. Tom is a mischievous boy with an active
imagination who spends most of the novel getting himself, and often his friends, into
and out of trouble. Despite his mischief, Tom has a good heart and a strong moral
conscience. As the novel progresses, he begins to take more seriously the
responsibilities of his role as a leader among his schoolfellows.
 Aunt Polly - Tom’s aunt and guardian. Aunt Polly is a simple, kindhearted woman
who struggles to balance her love for her nephew with her duty to discipline him.
She generally fails in her attempts to keep Tom under control because, although she
worries about Tom’s safety, she seems to fear constraining him too much. Above all,
Aunt Polly wants to be appreciated and loved.
 Huckleberry Finn - The son of the town drunk. Huck is a juvenile outcast who is
shunned by respectable society and adored by the local boys, who envy his
freedom. Like Tom, Huck is highly superstitious, and both boys are always ready for
an adventure. Huck gradually replaces Tom’s friend Joe Harper as Tom’s sidekick in
his escapades.
 Becky Thatcher - Judge Thatcher’s pretty, yellow-haired daughter. From almost the
minute she moves to town, Becky is the “Adored Unknown” who stirs Tom’s lively
romantic sensibility. Naïve at first, Becky soon matches Tom as a romantic
strategist, and the two go to great lengths to make each other jealous.
 Joe Harper - Tom’s “bosom friend” and frequent playmate. Joe is a typical best
friend, a convention Twain parodies when he refers to Joe and Tom as “two souls
with but a single thought.” Though Joe mostly mirrors Tom, he diverges from Tom’s
example when he is the first of the boys to succumb to homesickness on Jackson’s
Island. As the novel progresses, Huck begins to assume Joe’s place as Tom’s
companion.
 Sid - Tom’s half-brother. Sid is a goody-goody who enjoys getting Tom into trouble.
He is mean-spirited but presents a superficial show of model behavior. He is thus
the opposite of Tom, who is warmhearted but behaves badly.
 Mary - Tom’s sweet, almost saintly cousin. Mary holds a soft spot for Tom. Like Sid,
she is well behaved, but unlike him, she acts out of genuine affection rather than
malice.
 Injun Joe - A violent, villainous man who commits murder, becomes a robber, and
plans to mutilate the Widow Douglas. Injun Joe’s predominant motivation is revenge.
Half Native American and half Caucasian, he has suffered social exclusion, probably
because of his race.
 Muff Potter - A hapless drunk and friend of Injun Joe. Potter is kind and grateful
toward Tom and Huck, who bring him presents after he is wrongly jailed for Dr.
Robinson’s murder. Potter’s naïve trust eventually pushes Tom’s conscience to the
breaking point, compelling Tom to tell the truth at Potter’s trial about who actually
committed the murder.
 Dr. Robinson - A respected local physician. Dr. Robinson shows his more sordid
side on the night of his murder: he hires Injun Joe and Muff Potter to dig up Hoss
Williams’s grave because he wants to use the corpse for medical experiments.
 Mr. Sprague - The minister of the town church.
 The Widow Douglas - A kindhearted, pious resident of St. Petersburg whom the
children recognize as a friend. Tom knows that the Widow Douglas will give him and
Becky ice cream and let them sleep over. She is kind to Huck even before she
learns that he saved her life.
 Mr. Jones - A Welshman who lives with his sons near the Widow Douglas’s house.
Mr. Jones responds to Huck’s alarm on the night that Injun Joe intends to attack the
widow, and he takes care of Huck in the aftermath.
 Judge Thatcher - Becky’s father, the county judge. A local celebrity, Judge
Thatcher inspires the respect of all the townspeople. He takes responsibility for
issues affecting the community as a whole, such as closing the cave for safety
reasons and taking charge of the boys’ treasure money.
 Jim - Aunt Polly’s young slave.
 Amy Lawrence - Tom’s former love. Tom abandons Amy when Becky Thatcher
comes to town.
 Ben Rogers - One of Tom’s friends, whom Tom persuades to whitewash Aunt
Polly’s fence.
 Alfred Temple - A well-dressed new boy in town. Like Amy Lawrence, Alfred gets
caught in the crossfire of Tom and Becky’s love games, as Becky pretends to like
him in order to make Tom jealous.
 Mr. Walters - The somewhat ridiculous Sunday school superintendent. Because he
aspires to please Judge Thatcher, Mr. Walters rewards Tom with a Bible, even
though he knows that Tom hasn’t earned it.
 Mr. Dobbins - The schoolmaster. Mr. Dobbins seems a slightly sad character: his
ambition to be a medical doctor has been thwarted and he has become a heavy
drinker and the butt of schoolboy pranks.
