Answer: In chapter 23 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Twain was attempting to satirize the people in power.

Explanation: The repetitive use of the word "rapscallions" (rapscallions: a person who makes or causes trouble) is used in a mocking manner to degrade or laugh at the royal life. Hope that helps:)
