It was published in 18931894 by Century Magazine in seven installments, and is a detective story with some racial themes. The plot of this novel is a detective story, in which a series of identities the judges murderer, Tom, Chambers must be sorted out. This structure highlights the problem of identity and ones ability to determine ones own identity. Broader issues of identity are the central ideas of this novel. One of Twains major goals in this book was to exploit the true nature of Racism at that period. Twain used comic relief as a way to divulge his theme. The purpose of a comic relief is to address his or her opinion in a less serious way, yet persuade the reader into thinking the writers thoughts. Twains use of satire is visible throughtout the book. Twains use of colloquialism(dialect) and local color as features of Naturalism to convey his theme, is impressive and ahead for his time.
