Loyalty and Trust in Mark Twains The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Es

huckleberry Finn Loyalty and entrust huckleberry Finn does not address questions of law as directly as the different sassys that we have shoot. Ostensibly, huckaback is torn between dis practiseing the slavery laws and honoring his conscious. However, Huck shows a disregard for other laws throughout the story, so I say that his conflict stems not from a belief that one must obey the law because it is the law, or on a genial contract theory. Huck is never overly concerned with the truth or the norms of confederacy, he adheres to the mores of society because of the consequences as opposed to any fundamental ownance of them or authority. remote Billy Budd, however, Huck does not seem to be influenced by the solicitude of corporal punishment, as much as he is concerned with the social consequences that would result if his disobedience was discovered. The choice that Huck eventually makes is deeper than just choosing to acknowledge the social consequences, he is willing to go to hell for Jim, rather than betray the homage and trust that has grown between them. I think that Mark two choose an excellent vehicle for the presentation of a sharp, social satire. By letting Huck tell the story, suspender was free to present the ignorance underscoring the mores that were passed onto to children. Huck interprets the world literally, which starkly contrasts with the romanticism of Tom Sawyer and spiritualism of the widows. Hucks literalism as well allows him more leeway than a third-person narrator can have. Mark Twain could have presented his criticisms in an essay, or a more sensational, fictional novel however, he has chosen the most powerful form because the realism of th... ...ppears, because it is likely that Toms disregard was not based on un well-read, ignorance but rather was intentional and selfish. I will have to re-read Tom Sawyer to consider that question, I remember that was my view the very first time I read the book because I did not read Tom Sawyer first. I think I changed my mind upon learning that Tom was such a well-known and beloved character, I did not think the audience would accept it. However, today, I am not sure why I view the audiences expected acceptance/rejection is indicative of the authors intent. Twain was very dark in his later years, and his use of the dialects, inclusion of the (arrogant, taunting?) notice/explanation (challenge?) and his pungent satiric tone indicate that he would not feel confine by the audiences expectations, and might seek to shock them.
