The setting of Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn greatly influences the storyline and character development. ... It seems apparent that when on land, Huck experiences more about people’s truer nature, but he really learns and discovers the significance of the powerful situations while he is on the water. It becomes apparent at times that even human nature can rival the almighty Mother Nature in harshness and cruelty. ... Huck and Jim face many hardships on land, but they fight through society’s tough standards and mature together on their raft. ... Quickly, Huck steals goods from her home and makes off back to Jackson Island with the loot. ... The miscreants start off by putting on Shakespearean plays with a facetious twist. ... Ironically, the Judge gave custody of Huck to Pap and Huckleberry was later abducted and taken to a cabin out near the water. ... Although the almighty Mother Nature is a powerful source of destruction, the real source of destruction lies in the people themselves. Human nature is what kills people, depresses people, oppresses people, judges people, segregates people, and ridicules people. No other known force can put people down with such authority and supremacy as human nature itself. Huck faces human nature alongside Jim but fights through the oppression, cruel standards, and negative influences. Huck stands up for himself morally, physically, mentally, and emotionally, which allows him to overcome human nature. Mother Nature can be combatted by physical means and by complex devices such as the raft and rope, but nothing can prepare one for the power of human vices. ... It takes a keen mind, good intentions, and knowledge of the way people operate to overcome the underestimated power of human nature’s darker side.
