On The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn's Character and Characterization

In fact, the use of the first person is a breakthrough in the author's literary creation. It skillfully builds a bridge to readers in the world outlined by the author. No matter what era readers are in, they can walk into the world of novels through this bridge, feel the complexity of that world with Huck Jr., and understand and judge the rights and wrongs of that society from a more suitable angle. For the author, the choice of the first perspective can, to a great extent, express the author's inner feelings more directly. No matter how bound by traditional ideas, the author can pin his indignation at those bound societies on a young rebellious child.

Thirdly, colloquial language style.

Little Huck used the local language of the southern United States from beginning to end. It can be said that this dialect style is constrained in traditional novels. But in this novel, we see an unconventional Mark Twain and a truer little Huck. The author believes that the use of this penetrating colloquial style makes the whole novel more like a biography than a novel, which appropriately endows the whole novel with motivation and vitality, and makes the text reflect the scene in the reader's mind.

Moreover, when we explore the dialect in the novel, we will find that Mark Twain is a leading figure in the world literary world, and his use of dialect is effortless. Local dialects around the country are not only cordial and casual, but also not abrupt, coherent and natural. Although there will be many sentences that do not conform to grammatical rules, readers will not think that this is a typographical error, but will give readers a feeling that it should be like this. Moreover, at the beginning of the novel, the author gives a simple explanation of this colloquial dialect language style. He did not match the language by subjective speculation, but took full account of the rhythm of the novel and skillfully pieced together rough dialects and dialects in various places, which can be described as painstaking. Especially in Jim, the author uses a lot of dialects in real life, which makes the role of Jim lively and more life-oriented. The author believes that Mark Twain's colloquial language style conforms to the first-person perspective, and their mutual echo makes the content of the novel more authentic. Moreover, we can feel the author's deep resistance to the old ideas at that time in such dialects, and he is eager to awaken people's original good nature through a novel form.

Fourth, the wandering teenager Huckleberry Finn

Huckleberry Finn is a typical American teenager image created by Mark Twain, and he is naturally frank. In young Huck, we can find many excellent qualities of human beings: integrity, courage, kindness and wit. But as a child, he also has many defects: lying, ill-bred and rude language. These shortcomings make Huck's image more concrete and real.

Huck hates rigid society as much as the author, but due to the age limit, he will be influenced by social environment. On the one hand, he is eager to judge good and evil with his own values, and on the other hand, he is bound by traditional values. This contradiction is the most successful place for the author to create Huck's image. Especially when he met Jim, Huck made fun of Jim as a traditional strongman at first, but in his later experience, he found that Jim had courage and kindness that others didn't have, so he changed his attitude. This change in children's concept is in sharp contrast with social concept, which expresses the author's criticism and disgust at this indifference between people. When Huck broke through his ideas and wanted to apologize to Jim, it was the time when the author's criticism reached its extreme.

When readers see the world through Huck's eyes, and when the author states his views through Huck's mouth, we can appreciate the heavy connotation in the novel. That is the author's criticism and yearning for society, and also his pity and sympathy for Jim. It is precisely because of this rich image of wandering teenagers that people are obsessed with this novel.

Fifth, the shaping of the hero Jim

Jim, as the second character created by the author, has distinct symbolic significance. Jim is a simple, kind and selfless person. He has never been ashamed of his identity, and the author's position in this role is autonomy and independence. Through reading the whole article, we find that the author expresses his critical attitude towards this social phenomenon through this role, especially in the second half of the novel, when Huck was shot, Jim risked being arrested and stayed with Huck to take care of him. It can be said that the friendship between two people has broken through the boundaries and social status, which is the core idea of the whole novel. Mark Twain did not define Jim as a hero, but Jim's image showed heroism.

Conclusion of intransitive verbs

Mark Twain, with his unique perspective and writing skills, created two very typical images of Huck and Jim for us, making the novel more full and colorful. In the novel, the author wraps up the criticism and satire of social reality with humorous language, and expresses the author's values through the behavior and language of the young rebellious hero Huck. When we explore the characters in the novel, we will find that the author's language never expresses a direct judgment on someone or something, but rather shows great contrast through images such as Huck and Jim in the form of contrast and mutual photos, thus achieving the effect of irony. Perhaps on the surface, the novel only describes the journey of Huck, a very coincidence and full of crisis, but coincidence contains inevitability. It can be said that Mark Twain deeply discussed the most sensitive social problems in society at that time through Huck's adventures, and in the relaxed reading atmosphere created by the author, many readers had a deeper understanding and thinking about history and human nature.
