Questions and Topics We Can Help You Answering;
Mark Twain said of Huck Finn: “it is a novel where a sound heart and a deformed conscience come into collision and conscience suffers defeat. The conscience – that unerring monitor—can be trained to any wild thing you want it to approve.” Considering these comments, trace Huck’s moral development throughout the novel (in other words, show how he changes as the book progresses). Your essay could examine Huck’s lies, Huck’s decisions regarding Jim, Huck’s refusal to be “sivilized,” Huck’s relationship with Jim, or the differences between individual and society.
