About this eBook

Author Twain, Mark, 1835-1910
Title Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Chapters 21 to 25
Credits Produced by David Widger
Summary "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Chapters 21 to 25" by Mark Twain is a quintessential American novel written in the late 19th century. This work follows the journey of young Huck Finn as he travels down the Mississippi River, grappling with themes of friendship, morality, and societal norms. In this segment, the story is full of humor, satire, and critical reflections on human nature and the peculiarities of Southern society. In these chapters, Huck and his companions, the Duke and the King, continue to concoct schemes to exploit the townspeople for their gain. They stage a Shakespearean show, which turns out to be a comical failure, only to pivot to a more audacious plan involving the Wilks family, where they impersonate the deceased man’s brothers. The arrival of the real doctor threatens their con. The emotional turmoil of the townspeople, especially the heartfelt reactions of the Wilks sisters, contrasts sharply with the Duke and King's insincerity, showcasing Twain's sharp social commentary on deception, identity, and the complexities of human interactions. As tensions rise, Huck wrestles with his own moral compass, setting the stage for significant developments in the narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
