"Coping with the sense of guilt"

It was fifteen minutes before I could work myself up to go and humble myself to a nigger; but I done it, and I warn't ever sorry for it afterwards, neither. I didn't do him no more mean tricks, and I wouldn't done that one if I'd a knowed it would make him feel that way. (15.49)

I used this quote for identity but it works really well for "guilt" as well. Huck feels guilty about his prank on Jim. Huck really wants to apologize yet white society demands that he be able to abuse Jim and feel justified because Huck is white and Jim is black.
