Mark Twain is generally recognized as humor author;however he is an author who explored the society and human being's essential existence through the sharp criticism behind the humor he writes. He severely criticized the decadent institution and customs of civilized society, and the inhuman thought and behavior induced from this society through his literary work. His representative novel, The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn, represents the sharp insight about the human being and society phase of that age by adding autographical factor of author himself. That is, The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn may seem like the simple novel described about the adventure of Huck, the white guy who look through his life sharply traveling with Jim, the escaped slave based on Mississippi River area around 1840's. However, this is the prominent literary work representing the serious insight about the human being and scathing criticism about the society that author eventually wants to describe. Mark Twain described well about American southern society of those ages decadent, hypocritical and inhuman. That is, through various events Huck experiences, he ultimately criticizes the hypocritical behaviors to try to copy European culture and customs blindly, the cruelty hidden behind the hostility and dignity of novel society, the racial discrimination and the money worship to judge everything by money. Mark Twain, through this criticism, intends to describe the attitude of Huck, who had healthy mind as natural human overcame the internal conflict experienced from irrational and degraded society of southern society of those days, and grew with spirit and morality. Finally, the essential subject that Twain intended to demonstrate was the mortal growth and nobility of humanity that overcomes the material civilization and social custom. This thesis is aimed to inquire the critical behavior of Mark Twain represented in this work, and to examine the three aspects of irrational and inhuman social institution to judge the human being by social standing loss of humanity as critical behavior, slavery and human prejudice, and religious hypocrisy and money worship.
