Chapter 2 An Analysis of Main Characters in Pudd’nhead Wilson
2.1 The Portrait Analysis of Roxy and Wilson
At the begining chapter of the book, Mark Twain uses many
words to
describe Roxy. From Roxy"s manner of
speech, a stranger would have expected her
to be black, but she was not. Only one sixteenth of her was black, and that sixteenth did not show. She was of majestic form and stature, her attitudes were imposing and statuesque, and her gestures and movements
distinguished by a noble
and stately grace. Her complexion was very fair, with
the rosy glow of vigorous health in her cheeks, her face was full of character and expression, her eyes were brown and liquid, and she had a heavy suit of fine soft hair

which was also brown, but the fact was not apparent because her head was bound about with a checkered handkerchief and the hair
was concealed under it. Her face was shapely, intelligent, and
comely--even
beautiful.
She had an easy,
independent carriage--when she was among her own caste--and a high and "sassy" way, withal; but of course she was meek and humble enough where white people were.

From the first sentence, From Roxy"s manner of speech, a stranger would have expected her to be black, we can get the information that the author suggests the difference between black and white. Tone of voice. However only sixteenth of her was black, and that sixteenth did not show. What’ s more, with
later words about Roxy, we know that Roxy is as same as white people except her tone of voice and hei sixteenth black lineage even she is more beautiful than others. As a very typical, slaves of oppression by white culture. Her life is full of contradictions. She is always in a natural "identity crisis". She looks different with the white, but she was born a slave. Her skin
is white but her words are
vulgar; she has thick
soft hair but wears the
humble clothes; She is very deferential to white masters but very bossy to those black workers. In other words, Roxy , as a black people, agrees with and also accept

the racial attitudes and slavery. She agrees that the status of white people is naturally higher than black. So sad she is.
However,

It is doomed that she is not only a slave with economic value

Unfortunately, the white master who makes her to be pregnant is only interested in her body. Also this novel darkly implys that Roxy becomes the focused target of her new master when
she is sold down the river. And then the hostess retaliates
her unscrupulously nearly killed her. Thus it can be seen, what her pretty appearance takes her is
just
a string of misfortune. Since that she is a slave. Meanwhile, we...
