Final document: L awsversus Moral sStarting from the beginning of the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain – Huck Finn says he does not want to conform to the laws of society, yet for a long period of the novel Huck debates in his mind whether to follow what his heart tells him to do or follow what society demands of him. There is some fairly distinctive evidence within the novel that supports the idea that there was a conflict between Huck's moral values ​​and the laws of society. Huck faces many punishing situations in which he harbors highly conflicting feelings about his personal morals and the laws of society in which he must make decisions that have the potential to affect not only his self-awareness but also his relationship with others, especially Jim .Huck Finn initially wanted to escape and enjoy a simple life, secluded from society on the river, but through an unpredictable sequence of events he finds himself helping a black man named Jim who is fleeing slavery in search of freedom. Huck begins his adventure without worries and for a while is completely unaware that by helping Jim he was actually rebelling against the law. According to Rolf Gunnar's Gunnar's Guide to Huck Revised, the laws of society at the time of Huck's journey regarded people of African descent as property and, therefore, less than human, so at the very moment Huck discovered he was breaking the law helps Jim escape, everything changes completely for him. Huck begins to reflect on his decision to help Jim because he is breaking the law and has great guilt for feeling like he betrayed Miss Watson. This is clear to us when he thinks to himself: “That was… half of paper… this contributes to the idea of ​​illegality. Other times, however, Huck broke laws because his perceptions of certain standards were different. The novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain mainly focuses on Huck's journey to adulthood and how he slowly begins to understand certain aspects of society's laws, but that does not mean that he necessarily agreed with what the company deemed correct. Huck was raised differently and uses his father's knowledge as an explanation for why he steals boats and other things and why he robs farms and food markets. “Pap always said, get a chicken when you get a chance, because if you don't want it yourself you can easily find someone who does, and a good deed is never forgotten” (Twain) or “Pap always said it wasn't bad borrow things, if you wanted to pay them back, sooner or later" (Twain)
