Key Events and Discussions in Chapters 26 and 27 of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"

In Chapters 26 and 27 of Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," Joanna (the Hairlip) questions Huck about several subjects after dinner, including the king and duke's schemes. After their talk, Huck resolves to take action against the king and duke's con game. While eavesdropping, he hides under the floorboards. The characters engage in differing opinions about slavery, and Huck's description of the undertaker and the chaos during the funeral vividly portrays town dynamics. He carefully conceals the stolen money post-heist, providing insight into his cunning character.
