For starters, there are many twists and turns that cause Huck Finn to have a questionable sense of his own morality throughout this novel. First of all, Huck Finn, at the beginning of the novel, really has no sense of making his own decisions until Tom Sawyer is out of the picture. Huck, in many ways, is kidnapped by his father who has a serious drinking problem and forces Huck to live with him despite Huck already having a house where he lives with Miss Watson, who takes great care of him. Second, once Huck finds a way to successfully leave his father, he meets Jim, the runaway slave owned by Miss Watson, on the river at one of his first stops. Huck knows that befriending a slave and taking him on his journey makes him struggle to make his own choices and can't seem to understand whether the choices he makes are the right ones or the wrong ones. In fact, Huck Finn, in the eyes of most people, makes the right morally sound choices to help those in need of assistance, like Jim with whom he becomes very close over the course of the novel. Choices like running away from his father, who would abuse and force Huck to do things he shouldn't have done, were the right thing to do. If Huck had stayed, his father would have imposed wrong views and ideas on him to the point that Huck would not have had the opportunity to make a decision. Therefore, once he escapes, Huck's choices begin that inevitably make things more difficult than he thought. If Tom Sawyer had been present the whole time, Huck Finn's choices and the complete outline of this novel would have had a very different approach and would have been close to a train wreck due to Tom Sawyer's way of thinking. Huck would mostly do things he wouldn't agree with later if he let Tom make all the decisions and develop the wrong courses of action to take. You could say that Huck is a hero in the choices he had to make for himself on this journey across the Mississippi. Huck successfully freed himself from his bizarre father's bizarre lifestyle by making the choice to stay or leave. He helped a defenseless slave (Jim) who he befriends and cares for to prevent him from being captured and escape the torment of slavery. Last but not least, Huck rescues Jim and helps him in his escape from captivity with the help of the infamous fantasy book reader Tom Sawyer. All in all, Huck Finn actually successfully faced these difficult choices and only did what he thought was the right thing to do, which in reality were the rightly justified and morally appropriate decisions to make.
