A Connecticut Yankee

A Connecticut Yankee In Mark Twain?s book, A Connecticut Yankee, Hank Morgan spends a lot of time dealing with superstition which was central to society in 5th-century England. Hank attempts to combat superstition by bringing technology to Camelot but fails to change the people?s way of thinking. Twain mocks their strict adherence to superstition while teaching us an important lesson about humanity: you can?t change human nature.

He tries to get out of jail by telling Clarence, a page he has befriended, that he is really a powerful sorceror who will cause great damage if not
