Huck Finn's Moral Changes 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 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…half of the paper…how people can change over time and events. This is proven by the above reasons. Huck generally believes that "human beings are good and trustworthy, but one must always beware of people who always want to take advantage of other people's losses." He is shocked by the fact that people have a tendency to do incredibly kind things (such as when he helps Jim) and by the fact that people can do terrible things to hurt others emotionally (as demonstrated by the King and Duke's ruthless ways of getting money ). , which also include disrespect for the dead). Huck speaks to his conscience in many of the previous statements. He talks to his conscience to find what is the best choice, handing Jim over or helping Jim, and when he decides to help Mary Jane. Overall, the human race is generally good and kind, but there are always some exceptions. Huck Finn undergoes many moral changes in this novel.
