This paper is a study of humorous satire on the aristocratic tradition, the slavery, and the religion of the Southern society in the 19th century, revealed in Mark Twain's The adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Mark Twain, his name as calligrapher, whose real name is Samuel Clemens is the greatest writer as a satirist. We readers always find humorous satires in his words and styles of the novel. His humorous story is formed as a genteel and vernacular style, which is much influenced by the Southwest humorists of his time.
During his journey, Huck comes to meet and to know the members of greatly varied groups, living on or along the Southern Mississippi River in the 1840's. Here Mark Twain satirizes drastically the hypocritical and immoral aspects of that time, based upon his real experiences of the Mississippi and the West, through an innocent kid, Huck. He starts to see the human nature behind the curtain of civilization. He learns about the evil of the world, facing a moral dilemma.
Mark Twain criticizes the high society of the South through Col. Grangerford, mimicking an aristocratic class, founded on money and power. Especially in his consciousness there is a particular belief that by sticking to the aristocratic traditions he can keep his social positions and powers. And his belief causes him to commit ill-treatment, inhumanly stupidity, and brutalism.
Mark Twain also blames the slave code with realistic depiction, even if annihilated, which still chains the blacks. Between betraying Jim and following the slave code, Huck faces the greatest moral dilemma in his life. After all, he chooses not to follow the rules and expectations of society even if he endangers himself.
Mark Twain emphasizes the significant role that religion plays in the society, while uncovering Christianity’s irony and hypocrisy. The widow, Miss Watson tries to civilize Huck by teaching him about the Biblical figures, but he questions the widow’s religious beliefs. Huck suffers the conflicts between the religious morality and the duplicity behind the pious proclamations. However Huck begins to recognize and identify what’s right and wrong, when the duke and king try to cheat the townspeople, wearing hypocrites' masks.
Throughout his journey along the Mississippi River on the raft, Huck physically separates himself from society, while freeing himself mentally from the curtain of civilization. After all, Mark Twain let us readers think what the meaning of real life between man and society is through the traits of characters seen in the novel.
