...escape. His conscience, formed by the mid-19th century American Southern society, goads him until he decides he ill turn Jim in as a runaay slave. But hen he is faced ith the actual situation of having to inform on Jim to to Negro hunters, Huck finds himself unable to carry out his abominable plan and improvises an elaborate story that makes them believe there is smallpox on the raft. By enlisting himself in Jims cause, Huck becomes a self-proclaimed social outla. He goes through to moral crises in hich he is denounced by his conscience, but he finally decides to go to Hell that is to defy the las of God and of man and to stay loyal to Jim ho has by no become his alter ego.The novel is ritten in the first person narrative, thus the feelings of the main character Huck himself are expressed more directly, offering the hole story authenticity and freshness. The scene presenting Hucks inner struggle is very impressive and of a peculiar dramatism. Huck leaves his raft feeling sick, disgusted ith himself and ith the idea of cheating his friend so cruelly. Still, he thinks it is his duty to inform the authorities. Very soon, he meets to men in a skiff. The men are hite, they carry guns and they are looking for runaay niggers. hen he is asked if there are any men on his raft, Huck ansers that there is only one. At this point he still doesnt kno hat to do. But hen he is asked if his man is hite or black, he hesitates for a hile, trying to brace up and out ith it. The clash beteen his feelings of friendship toards Jim on one hand, and his prejudices as a Southern boy, on the other, no reaches its climax. Huck regards his incapacity of telling the truth as a matter of courage after all, thinking he isnt man enough, but in fact his loyal heart cant accept to betray a true friend. Finally, he takes a decision, in spite of his prejudices, and he tells the to men that his man is hite.The attitude didnt seem very convincing, as the to men expressed their ish to see for themselves the man on the raft. Huck immediately ish to see for themselves the man on the raft. Huck immediately invents a story the man on the raft is his father, he says, and his father is ill. He lets the to men guess that the so-called father has got the smallpox, a very unpleasant and, at the same time, very dangerous disease. The to men leave in a hurry, feeling pity for Huck and giving him some money. As they dont ant to catch the disease, they dont even have a look on the raft. Jim is saved but Hucks soul is tormented by various questions had he done right or rong ould he have felt better if he had given Jim upHe decides he had done rong according to the Southern rules concerning runaay slaves, but he realizes he ould have felt miserable if he had betrayed his friend in need. Huck is in fact the victim of the social prejudices, but he is aare of the contradiction beteen his feelings of brotherhood toards and these prejudices. He cant help regarding Jim as a human being, a faithful friend, and thus finally he acts like a man helping another man. Huck is guilty from the point of vie of the Southern prejudices and las, but from a human point of vie he is innocent, because he saved Jims life.Huck is an objective narrator. He is objective about himself, even hen that objectivity is apt to reflect discreditably upon himself. He is objective about the society he encounters, even hen, as he often fears, that society possesses virtues and sanctions to hich he must ever remain a stranger. He is an outcast, he knos that he is an outcast.Possessing neither a ide background of economic fact and theory, nor a comprehensive knoledge of scientific or philosophical methods, he had a genuine contempt for all pretense and hypocrisy, and exposed to humorous vie the tyrannies of chivalry, of slavery, and of religion. Mark Tain is the greatest American voice of his day.5DEYCJOJQJCJOJQJ6CJOJQJCJOJQJ5CJOJQJ5CJOJQJ6CD
