Ah, Aunt Polly: tenderhearted, loving, but usually misguided Aunt Polly. She is the caretaker of Tom Sawyer (after Polly's sister, Tom's mother, died) and is always desperate to understand Tom. Her favorite charge, however, is Tom's brother, Sid. Aunt Polly is always asking Tom to look to Sid in regards to how to behave.

Aunt Polly is usually seen either quoting scripture, asking Tom to be more like Sid, warning Tom to be more civilized, or hitting Tom over the head withe her thimble. Tom is not a fan of this type of treatment, so for all of Aunt Polly's tries, ... she fails to win Tom over.

Tom is always trying to give her some kind of convoluted explanation (and usually succeeds). Sid prides himself in helping Polly note the inaccuracies in Tom's descriptions. (Thus, Tom gets another thump with the thimble.) In my opinion, Aunt Polly's relationship with Tom is summed up here:
