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 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 concern for serious matters. 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 a fishing line. It upsets him when he discovers there are no hooks (page 13) and takes prayer lightly until he is confronted with another moral problem later in the book. His carefree and wild ways are also expressed in his superstitions. This is demonstrated by him throwing salt over his shoulder (page 18) and by his other superstitions such as burning the spider, talking about snake skin, and talking about the dead (page 61). Mark Twain also expresses Huck's madness and moral confusion by saying that he never tells the truth. One of his inflated lies is the one about being a girl (page 68) that he keeps bloating and bloating to cover up his old lies. His seriousness changes later as the book progresses. By the middle of the book, Huck showed some signs of improvement. He now realizes that Jim is more human than he had been led to believe. Huck's view of "good and evil" has changed. He still lies and makes jokes, but now he feels some guilt every time he does this. An example of this is when he makes Jim believe that he was dreaming of the fog. When Jim says "trash is what people are who put dirt on brothers' heads and shame them", (p. 105), which in a more correct spelling means "trash is what are the people who bring dirt on their friends' lives." heads". This makes Huck feel bad enough to apologize and he finally realizes that cheating on Jim is wrong and that he has feelings. Before this, he had also lied to avoid Jim getting caught. saying Jim was white and had a disease so people wouldn't look for Jim and probably wouldn't catch him Son..
