Mark Twain is among such novelists who offered unrefined views about these complex societal issues in many of his novels. Specifically, Twain’s Pudd’nhead Wilson takes an objective and satirical stance on slavery and racial issues and denotes the hypocrisy of both. Though Pudd’nhead Wilson does not deeply explore the hardships of slavery, it clearly investigates the society's artificially constructed view of racial distinctions

The four warriors push the boy behind them and Argus quickly scoops him up, scaling one of the trees on the right side of the clearing, near the river. The sound of the river does little to cover the sound of the terrible roars of the approaching beast. Titos and the others on the ground are tense, not even daring to blink as the danger grows closer. The air seems to stay still for a moment before the Nemean Lion comes into view taking the large shrubs and a young tree right out of the ground. The Nemean lion, although a monstrosity, has a sunken in stomach and white milky eyes that seem to be set towards the direction of the tree that Argus and Ryn are perched in. The boy frowns at the lion’s state, hugging the dead rabbit to his chest tighter.
