The moral changes of Huck FinnIn 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 jokes and tricks on people and believing them all to be hilarious. When Huck's adventures involve more people and new moral questions never raised before, you can tell he has started to change. By the time the book is almost finished, people can see a drastic change in Huck's opinions, thoughts, and outlook on "right and wrong." Sometimes serious events can affect a person's morals, opinions, and values. This is clearly seen in Huck as his adventures progress toward seriousness. Even despite the seriousness, Mark Twain still added a touch of humor to keep everything interesting, and that is what keeps readers interested in reading the book. Readers might even be affected by reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Their opinions before reading the book and their opinions after being exposed to these ideas may differ. Huck's views on theology, "right and wrong" views, views on slavery, and the tricks he plays all reflect Huck's beliefs when introduced in the first part of the book. Huck's opinion on religion shows his lack of interest in serious things. When he is given a lecture about heaven and hell (by which he refers to the "good" and "bad" places 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 learns 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, he prays for...... middle of paper ......e about how people can change over time and events . This is demonstrated in the reasons above. Huck generally believes that "humans are good and trustworthy, but one should always be wary of people who always want to profit from the losses of others." He is shocked by the fact that people tend to do incredibly kind things (like when he helps Jim) and by the fact that people can do terrible things to hurt others emotionally (as shown by the heartless methods of the king and duke to obtain money, which even includes disrespect for the dead). Huck speaks to his conscience in many of his previous statements. He speaks with his conscience to find out which is better, turning in Jim or helping Jim, and when he decides to help Mary Jane. As a whole, the human race is generally good and kind, but there are always a few exceptions. Huck Finn undergoes many moral changes in this novel.
