One of society's favorite sayings is that it takes an entire town to raise a child. This is true in Mark Twain's book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Through Huck's journey along the Mississippi River, Twain illustrates the influence society has on undeveloped morals. During the journey, Huckleberry becomes "the impassive observer" and aware of the corruption of society's values ​​(330). Encountering these societies gives Huck selective morality. No particular social class is excluded from his observations. From the poor, lower class to the elite, upper class, Huck observes inconsistencies in morality. Ultimately, Huck realizes that society is flawed and corrupt, which ultimately leads him to "leave for the Territory" (229). Huck Finn develops a selective morality starting from the corrupt social classes he encounters on the Mississippi River. Before leaving on his raft adventure, Huck is exposed to the values ​​and morals of his poor drunken father. Pap Finn instills a "prejudice about the Southern race" and leads Huck to believe "that he detests abolitionists" (374). Huck comes into conflict with this philosophy while traveling on the raft with Jim. He can't decide whether he is wrong in helping Jim escape slavery or whether the philosophy is wrong. Huck's upbringing also elicits some values ​​in Pap. When Pap tells him that education is useless, Huck is confused because Widow Douglas told him that education is important. As a result, Huck's values ​​towards education are uncertain. Pap Finn, as a figure of the lower class, does his part to confuse his son's growing morals. Along with Pap, the king and the duke do their part to instill putrid moral ideas in Huck's immature mind. The king and the duke earn their living by defrauding their countrymen. For example, they advertised the “Royal Nonesuch” as a “thrilling tragedy” and charged area farmers fifty cents to come see it (121). But the entire production consisted of the king walking on all fours naked. They had promised the crowd a good show, the King and the Duke didn't think it was wrong to give the crowd nothing but an empty pocket. The message they sent to Huck is that it is acceptable to cheat and lie.
