Twain submits that we live in a fraud-ridden society and that people are.
To acknowledge these sub-themes of The Adventures of.
Huckleberry Finn,this essay will discuss hypocrisy, mob mentality and the.
world's adventurous leaders. .
Hypocrisy. What is it? Webster defines it as the practice of professing.
beliefs, feelings or virtues that one does not hold. Hypocrisy today,.
parallels with the occurrences Twain was trying to explain through his.
literary works about his society. In this day and age, there are those who see.
any and everything others do to be wrong and out of perspective, but for.
some reason can't seem to come to terms with their own faults. In the.
novel, Miss Watson is a firm believer in God and Providence, and without a.
doubt is absolutely sure she"ll make it in the pearly white gates. NOT!!! .
Miss Watson is the biggest hypocrite alive. How can one preach, testify, or.
even convince others to love ye one another, and at the same time beat an.
innocent person to death? How can one preach about love, goodness, and.
mercy, and at the same time be a slave master? How can a person who.
strives to be Christlike engage themselves in such non-sense and unjustified.
behavior? What is this world coming to? But when it all boils down, God.
has a plan for all of that. He condemns people like Miss Watson and later in.
their life cause them to suffer the consequences. Eventually towards the end.
of the novel, Miss Watson dies and to free her soul from a burning hell, she.
grants Jim his freedom. One's conscience can play a tremendous role on.
one's actions, and cause one to establish the difference between what's.
considered to be right and what's considered to be wrong.
Besides the issue on hypocrisy, Twain touched base on mob mentality.
and how people involve themselves in situations that really don't concern.
them. Some say one bad apple spoils the bunch and that the world is.
surrounded by more followers than leaders.
