Conscience

Huck

Big River

4 According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the definition of conscience is the inner sense of what is right or wrong in one's conduct or motives. People are born with a good conscience and no prejudices. Prejudice and hate for people of different race and color is taught and not inherent, which means it can also be altered. This change in human conscience is prevalent in the novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain. At the beginning of the novel, Huck?s conscience is undeveloped and stereotypical of an average male from the south. As the story progresses, Huck?s conscience and view of society begins to evolve and he ultimately rejects the master slave idea and begins to move towards equality.

Huckleberry Finn

Mark twain

Mark Twain was way ahead of his time in much of his writings. Though he didn’t flat-out say it, early in the novel, Twain sent the reader the message that the color of your skin is not what makes you a good or a bad person. Huckleberry Finn’s father, Pap, is hands down the worst man in Huck’s town, yet ironically he feels the need to hate on every black person that walks by. Twain shows his hidden opinion to the reader in the way that Pap talks about the black professor who had visited their town… “Here’s a govment that calls itself a govment, and lets on to be a govment, and thinks it is a govment, and yet’s got to set stock-still for six whole months before it can take a-hold of a prowling, thieving, infernal, white-shirted free nigger….” (38)
