Freedom in "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn".
I believe that freedom is portrayed in different ways by the characters in the novel.
"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn". Each character has a different perspective of.
freedom and it is shown in many ways. First of all, Huck seeks freedom from society and.
from the restraints of Widow Douglass and her sister Miss Watson. Second, Jim wants.
freedom more than anything else and tries to run from slavery. Thirdly, freedom is shown.
as having no restraints at all shown by the characters of the King and the Duke. Lastly,.
the river symbolizes freedom for Huck and Jim.
Huck has a conflict between freedom and the Widows" "civilized" ways. She tries.
to make him wear new clothes, give up smoking, learn good manners and learn the Bible.
"Pretty soon I wanted to smoke, and asked the widow to let me. But she wouldn't. She.
said it was a mean practice and wasn't clean, and I must try to not do it any more" Huck.
shows that he wants to do whatever he wants whenever he wants to. She also made him.
attend school. "The Widow Douglas, she took me for her son, and allowed she would.
sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal.
regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn't stand it no.
longer, I lit out." This shows that Huck craved his old ways more than the new ways,.
and when he could not take anymore he goes back to what he feels is right and what.
makes him happy. Freedom, shown by Hucks character, is excersizing choice and free.
will.
Jim's freedom is portrayed in a much different way than Hucks. Jim wants to.
escape slavery and become free to buy his family from other slaveowners. Jim did not.
have much freedom at all in this novel because even when he did escape with Huck, he.
could not be seen and had to hide from everyone. He was dressed up as a sick-Arab and.
was also thought to be Huck's sick father that had small-pox to avoid people along the.
