The fatal error some critics make is trying to take the text of Huckleberry Finn and make it mean something that it does not for the sake of maintaining an analytical reputation. But there are some critics, like Louis Budd, who believe that over-analyzation is flawed, saying “most critics will force a logical resolution or build a theory on its failure to offer one” (qtd. In Henrickson 16). This is the problem in some of the arguments being made for Twain’s “evasion” ending. It is evident

“The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” is a piece of fiction that is so strongly written it can be conceived as the truth. Mark Twain’s ability to paint a clear and realistic picture of the Southern way of life in 1885 is unparalleled in any author. The story of Huckleberry Finn is one that gives ample opportunity for interesting sights into the South at that time. The story consists of Huck and a runaway slave, along with two men and Huck’s faithful friend Tom Sawyer and some points of the novel, floating down the Mississippi’s shores and encountering different feats of Southern culture, tragedy, and adventure. A nice example of Twain’s ability to turn an event on a river into an analysis of Southern culture is a fun bit of the story where Huck

Oppression has been a problem in this country, dating all the way back to the Europeans traveling to the New World, and forcing themselves on the Native’s and famously the British oppression of the thirteen colonies. Oppression is still a serious problem today, with almost all minorities, such as women, African-Americans, and the LGBT community feeling it’s pressure. Although these groups have gained seen many changes in their freedom, they are still being oppressed. Oppression is a common theme throughout American Literature, weaving in and out of many that are seen as classic American novels and poetry. Some of these books include Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the poetry of Langston Hughes, Richard Wright’s Native Son and Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon. The form of oppression that is evident throughout all these works, is racial oppression, and narrowing it down even further, the oppression of African Americans.

Pap Finn, Huck's father, gives him a horrendous idea of what a family truly is. Huck grew up without truly understanding what a family should do for one another or how it feels to be a part of one. When Huck goes to the Widow Douglas's house and starts to live with her and Miss Watson, they treat Huck as if he were their own, and slowly, Huck starts to understand what a family really is and how it feels when you are a member of one. Huck also finds family with Jim, when they both are on Jackson's Island after running away. A father/son dynamic emerges between the two as they travel towards Cairo so Jim can be free. The dynamic becomes evident along the way during the many adventures the pair endures together. Jim begins to care for Huck in a paternal way. These feelings being extremely evident when the pair finds the floating house in the river and Jim covers the face of the murdered man with clothing. The murdered man is actually Pap Finn; Jim wanted to protect Huck from having to face the reality of his father's death (Twain 304). The satire comes from the way Huck feels about all of these people. Huck likes the Widow Douglas enough, but does not like how Miss Watson always lectures him. When it comes to Jim, Huck felt as if he was not supposed to like him, or rather had to make his life harder because of his skin color and his status as a slave. With Pap it was different, as Huck knew that his father

Two people taking a trip down a river, is rarely thought of as anything more than just an adventure. Mark Twain, however, uses his novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, to explore and makes fun of many problems facing American society. Huck, the main character, is considered a boy who is under pressure to conform to the aspects of society.

“The situation of the orphan is truly the worst, you’re a child, powerless, with no protectors or guides. It’s the most vulnerable position you can be in, to see someone overcome those odds tells us something about the human spirit. They are often depicted as the kindest or most clever of characters.” Michelle Boisseau describes how important these types of characters are.

“Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.” (Twain, ix) Mark Twain opens his book with a personal notice, abstract from the storyline, to discourage the reader from looking for depth in his words. This severe yet humorous personal caution is written as such almost to dissuade his readers from having any high expectations. The language in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is completely “American” beyond the need for perfect grammar. “Mark Twain’s novel, of course, is widely considered to be a definitively American literary text.” (Robert Jackson,

Throughout the evolution of the world’s societies, the roles of women seem to act as a reflection of the time period since they set the tones for the next generation. Regardless of their own actions, women generally appear to take on a lower social standing and receive an altered treatment by men. In Mark Twain’s pre-civil war novel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, lies a display of how society treats and views women, as well as how they function in their roles, specifically in regards to religion and molding the minds and futures of children.
