Criminals – Pudd'nhead Wilson Elements of Criminality in Pudd’nhead Wilson ● Stealing ● Dueling/Murder ● Gambling ● Fingerprinting

Pudd'nhead Wilson - Stealing In Pudd'nhead Wilson: Theft – the taking of another's possessions without the approval of the victim.

Pudd'nhead Wilson - Stealing There are multiple elements of theft: ● The actus reus of theft is the taking, keeping, or using of another's possessions withoug approval. ● The Mens rea of dishonesty is the decision to permanently keep the possessions from the rightful owner.

Pudd'nhead Wilson - Stealing The English system breaks stealing down into elements as well, but they are slightly different. 1. Dishonesty – the intentions 2. Appropriation – physical taking 3. Property – whatever is being stolen 4. Belonging to another – not your own 5. Not planning to give back

Pudd'nhead Wilson - Stealing “I will not ask for the money and ruin myself; I will rob the old skinflint.” (146, last lines of chapter 18) More comfortable stealing than asking for money.

Pudd'nhead Wilson - Stealing Why? “One theory explains three required conditions generally be present before theft can occur: motive/justification, opportunity/access, and low perception of risk.” -Security At Your Command

Pudd'nhead Wilson - Stealing Gambling – Stealing Working – Stealing Uneasy (during and after)

Pudd'nhead Wilson – Dueling and Murder

Pudd'nhead Wilson – Dueling and Murder Dueling: ● Usually gun or sword fights. ● Between two people in an attempt to regain honor. ● Code Duello (1777) ● Opposed to Dueling: George Washington and Benjamin Franklin Murder: ● The wilful and intentional killing of another person. ● Seen as immoral and illegal for thousands of years ● Documents such as the Ten Commandments

Pudd'nhead Wilson – Dueling and Murder “Sunday came, and Luigi insisted on having his challenge conveyed. Wilson carried it. Judge Driscoll declined to fight with an assassin 'that is,' he added significantly, 'in the field of honor.'” (139) Honor ● Difference between murderer and hero ● Social code of honor ● Cowardice

Pudd'nhead Wilson - Gambling

History ● Gambling – a risk, or a bet placed on an uncertain outcome ● Examples: ● Lotteries ● Horse Racing ● Card Games ● Slot Machines ● Sports Betting

Pudd'nhead Wilson - Gambling Effect on the character Tom ● Addiction ● Enormous Sums of Debt ● Inspires thievery ● Sells own mother as a slave ● Becomes disinherited from the Driscoll family

Pudd'nhead Wilson - Gambling “Roxy's pet castle – an occasional dollar from Tom's pocket – was tumbling to ruin before her eyes. She could not abide such a disaster as that; she couldn't endure the thought of it. Her remark amused Chambers.” (62) ● Roxy realizes she will not receive any money. ● Pet castle – Roxy's desire or dream. ● Disapproved of gambling...because it left her less of a chance of revenue. ● Approves of later theft

Pudd’nhead Wilson - Fingerprinting Mark Twain - ahead of his time? 1st documented use of fingerprints as identification, Pudd’nhead Wilson written in 1893 Twain contributed to forensic research by involving fingerprinting.

Pudd’nhead Wilson - Fingerprinting “The murderer of your friend and min -- York Driscoll of the generous hand and the kindly spirit -- sits in among you. Valet de Chambre, Negro and slave -- falsely called Thomas a Becket Driscoll -- make upon the window the fingerprints that will hang you!” (163)

Pudd’nhead Wilson - Fingerprinting “The most accurate fingerprint systems far outperform the most accurate face recognition systems, the National Instituee of Standards and Technology recently reported.”

Pudd’nhead Wilson - Wrap Up How does a person’s status in society affect their perceptions of morality? Who’s right? Can we state that conclusively? How does Roxy as an intermediary character help us to understand the differences/conflict between “White Society” and “Slave Society” morality in the book? What can we observe about the court proceedings and how society relates to them? (How about the twins danger of “being lynched”(144)?) What governing bodies are in place to support/check the societies’ views of criminality?
