One of society's favorite figures of speech is that it takes an entire town to raise a child. This is true in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Through Huck's journey down the Mississippi River, Twain illustrates the influence of society on underdeveloped morals. As Huckleberry travels, he becomes "the impassive observer" and aware of the corruption of society's values ​​(330). The encounter with these societies gives Huck a selective morality. No particular social class is excluded from his observations. From the poor, lower class, to the elite, upper class, Huck observes inconsistencies in morality. Ultimately, Huck realizes that society is flawed and corrupt, which ultimately leads him to "leave for the Territory" (229). Huck Finn develops a selective morality from the corrupt social classes he encounters on the Mississippi River. Before embarking on his raft adventure, he is exposed to the values ​​and morals of his poor and drunken father. Pap Finn instills a “Southern racial prejudice” and makes Huck believe “that he hates abolitionists” (374). Huck comes into conflict with this philosophy while traveling on the raft with Jim. He can't decide if he is wrong to help Jim escape slavery or if the philosophy is wrong. Huck's upbringing also instills certain values ​​in Pap. When Pap tells him that education is useless, Huck is confused because the Widow Douglas told him that education is important. As a result, Huck's values ​​toward education are uncertain. Pap Finn, as a lower-class figure, does his part to confound his son's growing morality. Along with Pap, the King and Duke do their part to put putrid moral ideas into Huck's immature mind. The King and Duke make their living by defrauding their fellow Americans. For example, they presented the "Royal Nonesuch" as a "thrilling tragedy" and charged area farmers fifty cents to come see it (121). But the entire production consisted of a king walking around naked on all fours. They had promised the crowd a good show, the King and Duke did not think it was a mistake to give the crowd nothing except an empty pocket. The message they sent to Huck is that it's okay to cheat and lie..
