elements and would have not seen it for the truth it held. Even with his natural smarts, one of Huck's biggest weaknesses came when he followed Tom Sawyer at the end and unnecessarily prolonged Jim's captivity and even put the three of them in danger just to humor Tom's selfish need for adventure.

Furthermore, we see thematic exploration of morals and race. Huck persistently struggles throughout the novel to decide what morals to accept. Huck struggles with accepting what society has taught him because it does not feel right in his heart.
