Creativity In Huck Finn

316 Words1 Page

Huck Finn uses his knowledge and creativity in the novel to escape his abusive relationship with his father and then fake his own death. Within the past year, my friend was getting involved with a guy that I knew was not a decent person. For the decency of these two people, they will be referred to as their gender pronouns. Across the span of freshman year to last semester, my friend was being psychologically manipulated by a guy who I could clearly see was toxically involved with her. Gradually across this time I managed to convince her of his indecency and awfulness through several methods. In the only class all three of us shared, I would constantly point out to her whenever he would say or do anything that would not be considered appropriate.

  • Analysis of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

    1724 Words  | 4 Pages

    Huck Finn learns from the actions of people around him, what kind of a person he is going to be. He is both part of the society and an outlier of society, and as such he is given the opportunity to make his own decisions about what is right and what is wrong. There are two main groups of characters that help Huck on his journey to moral maturation. The first group consists of Widow Douglas, Miss Watson, and the judge. They portray society and strict adherence to rules laid out by authority. The second group consists of Pap, the King, and the Duke. They represent outliers of society who have chosen to alienate themselves from civilized life and follow no rules. While these characters all extremely important in Huck’s moral development, perhaps the most significant character is Jim, who is both a fatherly figure to Huck as well as his parallel as far as limited power and desire to escape. Even though by the end of the novel, Huck still does not want to be a part of society, he has made a many choices for himself concerning morality. Because Huck is allowed to live a civilized life with the Widow Douglas, he is not alienated like his father, who effectively hates civilization because he cannot be a part of it. He is not treated like a total outsider and does not feel ignorant or left behind. On the other hand, because he does not start out being a true member of the society, he is able to think for himself and dismiss the rules authority figures say are correct. By the end of the novel, Huck is no longer a slave to the rules of authority, nor is he an ignorant outsider who looks out only for himself. This shows Huck’s moral and psychological development, rendering the description of “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” as a picaresq...
