The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Huck's Internal Battle
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was written by Samuel L. Clemens, who is also
known by his pen name Mark Twain. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was Twain's first book
relating to adventure stories for boys. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn stars Tom Sawyers
comrade, Huck. Huck is rough around the edges but a real good kid and softy at heart. Huck had
good morals despite all his lies and sometimes cruel jokes and tries to do the right thing.
Throughout the story Huckleberry Finn has an internal battle with racism and whether his morals
or those imposed upon him by society are the right to follow. Huck is a victim of his time and
influences.
Huck is a rebel always defying and opposing authority throughout the book and his
constant need to break his restrictions and be truly free would be preferable. "She put me in new
clothes again, and I couldn't do nothing and feel all cramped up (12). Clothing are used to try
and civilize Huck but this makes him feel restricted and he would rather not conform to what
society believes correct. "I got to light out for the territory ahead of the rest, because Aunt Sally
she is going to adopt me and sivilize me and I can't stand it" (283). Huck feels that in order to
flee society he must move out west alone. "I been there before"(283). Huck's quest to escape
civilizations grasp is an one going one. What is interesting is that he despises society yet society
admires him and he is the ideal "lone ranger".
In this point in time black's were not viewed as equals by the whites and were some times
they were convinced that they were truly of a lower class which could explain Jim putting up
with Tom's ridiculous plans for so long. "There's ben a dozen a-helpin' that nigger, n' I lay I'd
skin every last nigger on this place but I'd find out who done it, s'I;
