The Moral Changes of Huck Finn In the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the main character Huck Finn undergoes many moral changes. At the beginning of the book, Huck is wild and carefree, playing tricks and pranks on people and believing that they are all hilarious. As Huck's adventures grow to involve more and more people and new moral questions never before raised, you can tell he's started to change. When the book is almost finished, people can see a drastic change in Huck's opinions, thoughts, and his view of "right and wrong". Sometimes, serious events can affect a person's morals, opinions and values. This is clearly shown in Huck as his adventures become more and more serious. Despite the seriousness, Mark Twain still added a touch of humor to keep everything interesting, and that's what keeps readers interested in reading the book. Readers may also be influenced by reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, their opinions before reading the book and opinions after exposure to these ideas may differ. Huck's views on theology, "right and wrong" views, views on slavery, and the tricks he plays all reflect the beliefs that Huck holds when he is introduced in the first part of the book. Huck's opinion on religion shows his lack of interest in serious matters. When he is taught about heaven and hell (by which he refers to the "good" and "bad" place respectively), he quickly decides that he wants to go to the "bad" place because he finds no interest in singing and praying to God. , while the bad place attracts him when he hears that his friend Tom Sawyer is going to the bad place. His view of prayer also reflects his lack of serious concerns. Instead of praying for help in finding faith, pray for a fishing line. This shocks him when he discovers there are no fish hooks (p. 13) and he takes the prayer lightly until he is faced with another moral problem later in the book. His carefree and wild ways are also expressed through his superstitions. This is demonstrated by throwing salt on his shoulders (p. 18) and his other superstitions such as burning the spider, talking about snakeskin, and talking about the dead (p. 61). Another way Mark Twain expresses Huck's madness and confused morals is that he never tells the truth. One of his exaggerated lies is the one about being a girl (p. 68) which he keeps inflating and inflating to cover up his old lies. His seriousness subsequently changes as the book progresses. Towards the middle of the book, Huck showed some points of improvement. He now realizes that Jim is more human than he was led to believe. Huck's view of "right and wrong" has changed. He still lies and plays pranks, but now he feels guilty every time he does so. An example of this is when he tricks Jim into thinking he was dreaming about fog. When Jim says "en trash is what people are that put dirt on their heads er dey fren's en put them to shame", (p. 105) which in a more correct spelling means "trash is what people are that put dirt on the heads of their friends "heads". This makes Huck feel bad enough to apologize and he finally realizes that deceiving Jim is wrong and that he has feelings before that, he had lied to save Jim from being caught by saying that Jim was white and had a disease so that people wouldn't look for him and probably wouldn't take him His seriousness increases after seeing Buck die, and Buck had been somewhat of a friend to him (p. 153). , when they meet the "King" and the "Duke" (p. 159), and even later when he discovers that the King and the Duke.
