Huck Finn Man Often Concealed Shortcomings
962 words
Throughout the Mark Twain (a. k. a. Samuel
Clemens) novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn, the author expresses a plain and striking
point of view. His point of view is that of a
cynic; he looks upon civilized man as a merciless,
cowardly, hypocritical savage, without desire for
change, nor the ability to effect such change.
Thus, one of Mark Twain's main purposes in
producing this work seems clear: he wishes to
bring to attention some of man's often-concealed
shortcomings. While the example...
