The study of the novel highlights moral problems of the 19th century that cannot be overlooked. It was a time when society was creating this hypocritical concept of morality which was clearly evident throughout The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as Huck is influenced by different factors including his caretakers, Jim, Tom, the Duke and the Dolphin and even the raft that could be added. In attempting to discover the realities and better meanings of the world, Huck shapes his own values ​​and morals, but at the same time he creates an identity for himself that is not based on the ideas of those around him. Huck comes from southern Antbellum in a time when the basics of morality were given to white people from birth. It went something like this: “white is good, black is bad”. This type of society was extremely narrow-minded and ignorant, which eventually made it a normal concept upon which morality was based. One of the main places where this is seen is in the church, where these ignorant moral values ​​were instilled in the members of these churches, which was somehow justified by religion, more specifically Christianity for timing purposes. This use of religion was highly hypocritical in that the means of justification contradicted many of the religion's moral tenets. “Love thy neighbor” became “Love only thy white neighbor.” In fact, they considered owning black people and property to be a duty and a good deed. This is also a concept highlighted from start to finish with Huck Finn. When the story begins, his morality is the result of his direct environment and the absence of his father, who simply seems to instill a morality contradictory to that of the widow, who is responsible for the boy. The widow wants... middle of paper ... to decide whether or not to help Jim. Because Huckleberry and Tom Sawyer were raised in a context of racist prejudice, they grew up believing that slavery was justified. Every white member of his community, family, and society had shaped his original belief that black slaves were inferior to white men and women. Huckleberry Finn's personal experiences of seeing slaves treated as property also shape his mind as a young boy. Although they have learned to behave according to society's decorum, Huckleberry and Tom's morals evolve from their own experiences and instincts. By taking control of his own life and choosing to save Jim, Mark Twain shows that there is a misconception that a person's morals develop from their past. Man is always capable of making better judgment and choosing to act against public opinion..
