What is the irony in Huckleberry Finn?
Could you elaborate on the irony found in Mark Twain's novel, Huckleberry Finn? Are there specific instances where the author employs irony to challenge societal norms or to highlight the hypocrisy of certain characters? How does this irony contribute to the overall theme and message of the story? Furthermore, how does it reflect Twain's own views and critiques of his time?

What is it called when you say a word but mean something else?
Could you clarify what is being referred to in the paragraph? Are you asking about a linguistic phenomenon where a person says one thing but intends to convey a different meaning? If so, that could be described as a form of "verbal irony," "sarcasm," "innuendo," or "figurative language." It's when someone intentionally uses words to convey a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation of those words. It's a common rhetorical device used for emphasis, humor, or to suggest a hidden meaning. Is this what you were asking about?
