Injun Joe is known as the villain in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Throughout the book, Injun Joe is out for revenge against all those who have wronged or whipped him. He murders Dr. Robinson and frames Muff Potter for the crime, not knowing that from less than five feet away, Tom and Huck have witnessed the crime. Once Tom tells the court that Injun Joe killed Dr. Robinson, Injun Joe goes into hiding, sneaking around at night, wearing a disguise. Even after all of his precautions, Tom and Huck still manage to discover his identity. They follow him around looking for his stolen treasures and waiting for him to die or go to jail so they can take his treasure. ![]() |
