Twain portrays humour and wit through the characters of policemen, bankers, politicians, clergymen and others. The final one is the novella The Mysterious Stranger which is expresses his ways of exposing the eternal evil from a distant place and time through wit and fictionalization. However, all his tales try to show the evils in the society and he wraps it well in the drape of humour and satire.
