Huck Learns a Lesson: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Case Study Example

The so-called duke and the king are tricksters who take advantage of ignorant people. Despite that Huck does not say anything. He has realized that these two are criminals and he knows that if he does not go along with their lies they will create trouble for him. He readily goes along with their stories of Kings and Dukes. And treats them in the way they want. This shows how wise Huck has become in the ways of the world and how he has learned to deal with all types of people.

He understands that the two pose a particular threat to Jim. He cleverly invents a story about himself and Jim. Although he does not challenge their false stories and allows them to order him about, Huck does not trust these men. When they go into a town he follows them and keeps a check on what they do. There he sees how easy it is for these men to fool people and take their money. He resolves to be even more careful of these two shameless tricksters, but they also help by teaching him how to deal with many kinds of people.
