Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an excellent study of morality. The main character, Huck, meets people such as Widow Douglas, Mary Jane, Susan, Joanna, and Aunt Sally who serve as foils for Huck throughout the novel. Huck in encountering these obstacles is able to decipher moral decisions that are plagued by civilizing influences. One example is when Huck is touched by Aunt Sally's genuine concern for him and "Sid" that Huck feels blameworthy for leaving her and vows to never hurt her again. Another example is what Widow Douglas and society teach Huck, which is not to help a slave escape as this will send him to Hell. Huck is then put in the position of either saving Jim from slavery or handing him over to Miss Watson, and Huck chooses to save Jim, regardless of the consequences. A person can do harm and correct himself by undoing what he has done, which expresses human decency. Huck shows human decency when he facilitates the thieves in stealing the girls' money, but then has an argument with the girls and feels remorse for his actions, so he steals the girls' money. Redemption is a form of morality that humans have and Huck displays in the novel. Twain eludes Huck as an example of human honor. Honor may not be right at first, but it is the ability to do the right thing even if a person is doing something wrong. Honor may not be correct at first; it is the ability to do the right thing even if a person is doing something wrong. Huck learns from his dad to let the Duke and the Dauphin have their way, so when the Duke and the Dauphin plan to steal Peter Wilk's money; Huck doesn't object, but agrees to help them. “If I had never learned anything else from Pap… middle of the paper… but “after that I would go no more to the kingdoms” (Twain 283). Huck promising “that I would never do anything again to grieve her " (Twain 283) shows the decency he has, not to hurt Aunt Sally again.
