Here are two reviews of Huckleberry Finn, not some much the book but
more attempts at describing Huck's character. The comments are equally
important and as with the respondent Stella, the Huck defined in these
two reviews is not the Huck of my own mind. I view Huck as neither king
nor moralist. In fact, I don't see him as heroic at all. I see Huck as
someone without ambition finding his own way along the middle path. He
recognizes and even accepts the legal and moral structure of the society
he exists in, but he has a natural talent for evading it's more virulent
aspects. His acts are acts of his heart, not his mind nor his morals.
