The Grangerfords… Are not as classy as they seem They might have money, but money doesn’t automatically bring sophistication

The fruitbasket… “…they warn’t real because you could see where pieces had chipped off and showed the white chalk, or whatever it was, underneath.” The Grangerfords look great from the outside, but when you get closer, you see their flaws (chips) in their character/lifestyle. Their hate for the Shepherdson is a major flaw that ruins the family.

Emmilene Grangerford… is an 1800 Gothic obsessed with death and dying irony – she died young foreshadows the end of chapter 18

Twain uses satire to… Symbol – of the misery behind the Grangerford’s fascade Huck says how hard it is to be a writer: Twain struggled writing Huck Finn Took 7-10 years
