Satire and Symbolism in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
|
|
|
In the chronicles of American Literature, few books have been as debated and influential as the works of Mark Twain. As Ernest Hemingway once wrote, “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn…All American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.” In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain mocks and ridicules American society during the 1800s through a variety of satire and symbolism in his characters and events within his novel Pap, Huck’s father is a prominent symbol in the early chapters of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Pap is described by Huck as having “hair [that] was long and tangled and greasy, and hung down” and his skin as “white; not like another man’s white, but a white to make a body sick, a white to make a body’s flesh crawl.”(14) Furthermore Huck’s father takes money from Huck to buy more whiskey.
