Huck Finn’s Consciousness

In Mark Twains quote, a password of mine where a sound heart and a deformed moral sense come into collision and conscience suffers defeat evidently has symbolism. The deformed conscience in this quote refers to southern society in huckleberry Finns world, while the sound heart refers to individuality and huckaback Finn being an individual. There are many influences that contributed to Huck Finns deformed society. Some are the southern society he grew up in, the point that Jim is a slave, his heart and individuality, and the fact that he feels that Jim is a person and not a slave.In Huckleberry Finn, Huck and Jim, a slave, take many adventures together. The problem is that the time stopover is pre-Civil War. Slavery is still huge in the southbound and blacks are looked down upon. This troubles Huck and often causes internal conflict. Southern society in this time period was difficult. Huck was often struggling with the fact that his society was telling him one thing, but he beli eved another. smart set has a huge affect on Huckleberrys feelings and actions and often cause conflict. This society has deformed Hucks conscience because he doesnt know what to believe or what is right.Another thing that deformed his conscience was the fact that Huck thought of Jim like a person and a friend, and not a slave. This was a problem for a few reasons. First of all, tying back into southern society, Jim was a slave and he was looked down upon. No one would think of befriending a slave, let alone arduous to help him escape. Huck, however, is trying to escape himself from his society and environment with his dad. In todays world, the society still affects the way we react and think. Like Huck, if our society tells us one thing that we dont agree with, we have trouble.Most battalion would want to fit into their society and do what everyone else believes, but sometimes it doesnt work out. Todays society runs in a way that influences everyone around us. There are many fo rces, however, that attempt to interpolate the deformed conscience. These forces can be known as leaders in society. People from the chairwoman to world-wide leaders can help change this process and can change how society affects people in the community and their take on life and the society around them.
