The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, a renowned novel by Mark Twain, is the story of a young boy, who, in a desperate attempt to escape his abusive and poverty stricken home, escapes and seeks help with the Mississippi River, where he experiences many different trials. The novel was finally published in 1885 and now it is published in at least twenty-seven languages.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn outlines the different experiences and developing friendship of the novel?s two main characters, Huck and Jim. Huck, a young boy trying to escape from his life, and Jim, a black slave, wanting to escape from being sold to a farmer in the deep South, join together to sail on the Mississippi River to the Ohio River, which would lead to their freedom, but they miss it in the dark. Huck faces a moral dilemma in helping a slave, but never finds a good enough reason to turn him in, and as a result, the two develop a special bond.
Written with much dialogue from the southern dialect, the story depicts a southern society from the mid-1800?s, which is very gullible, and easily manipulated. The tale is full of humor in its accounts of the pair of escapees, but it is full of underlying meaning. The whole story was written by Twain with a cynical view, wanting to show the downfalls of man, and subtly criticizing slavery. It is clear that Twain mocks the absurdity of slavery through various comments of people along the river, Huck?s father, and even Huck himself. However, through Huck?s internal struggle, Twain expresses what he believes to be the foolishness of slavery and the importance of being a leader in a society comprised of ignorant followers.
I enjoyed The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn because it has so much humor. It was extremely well-written, I am sure that Twain got his point across to some, but because it is so subtle, I doubt many understood the underlying meaning, especially if they were as uneducated as they are portrayed.
