Aunt Polly loved Tom Sawyer.
Tom Sawyer lived with his Aunt Polly and half brother Sid. Although Aunt Polly was a disciplinarian and Tom a mischievous one, both had a deep bond that connected them.
Aunt Polly loved the boy immensely and cared for him a lot. She knew when he was sad and what made him happy. They both challenged each other’s wit. When Tom got depressed for the reason that Becky Thatcher was not attending the school for she was keeping unwell, Aunt read Tom’s mind that it was disturbing him and this was the reason for why he hung around Becky’s father’s house every night. Tom had lost interest in almost everything, from a roguish boy he had turned melancholic and dejected. Aunt couldn’t stand this, so she started trying every remedy on her nephew. She wanted him to be himself again and she worked hard for it. It was her love for the boy that made her do it all to bring back his happiness.
