Overview of the adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Huck Finn is presented as the narrator of the story. Begins in the home of "The widow" in Missouri,

where she and her sister Mademoiselle Watson intended to "civilize him". Trying to teach good

manners and religion and also want to send him to school. However, Huck passes the time with hiscreative friend, Tom Sawyer, with whom he makes jokes to people as Jim, the slave of the Miss.

Watson. Interestingly, the two guys ignore, in general, to the fact that each of them has $6,000 that

was found in a cave. (This happened in the previous novel by Mark Twain,the adventures of Tom

Sawyer ).)

When Huck has a premonition, gives you all of your money to Judge Thacher, the magistrate. Then

his drunk and violent father returns to the village. So far, everyone had thought that he was dead,

but, unfortunately, it is not true. He demanded money to Huck, who is glad that his father did not

come a day earlier. Enraged and violent, his father threatens him a bit but then kidnaps him so that

the two can live in poverty near the river.

After a short time, Huck is fed up. He fakes his own death and goes to the island of Jackson to hide.

There he encounters with Jim, the slave of the Miss. Watson, who has fled to the island to avoid to

be sold to the South (and, consequently, be separated from his family). Jim is already a suspect in

the killing of Huck. They decide to elope to the mouth of the Ohio River, where Jim can escape to

free States (that is, States which do not allow slavery) and earn a little money with which can go

back and buy your family. Before you leave the island Jackson found a corpse but Jim does not

allow Huck to look at his face because it is too "gashly" ("gashly" is a pronunciation wrong

"ghastly", which is to say frightening).



Meanwhile, Huck makes some investigations in a nearby village, pretending to be a girl - and doing

it wrong. The two realize that soon will catch, then flee as soon as possible heading to Cairo, the

city where the river Mississippi meets the Ohio River. (See this map. The Ohio River makes a curveto the North, and Huck and Jim begin in Missouri, next to the Mississippi River.)

The first true "adventure" occurs when the two found a steamer sunk during a storm. Huck rises and

meets three robbers, of which two are killing the third. You want to go for help, but their raft has

been unleashed, so now he and Jim are on the boat with two alleged killers and a nearly dead thief.

Huck and Jim manage to escape and seek help, but however the three robbers die on the steam.

Players fear pass Cairo - that is, too travel South on the Mississippi River - as Huck decides to go

down to find out where they are. While you are going towards the shore, realizes that helping Jim

escape, is stealing the property of Miss. Watson. A moral crisis is there, but at the end you can not

betray Jim. When he returns to the raft, the two realize if past Cairo because of the fog. A large

steam almost crushes them and make pieces of your raft. The two fall into the water.

Huck comes to the shore and the Grangerford, a rich and aristocratic family that is fighting withother rich and aristocratic family, the Shepherson, hosts it. Meet Buck, the eldest son of the family

that has more or less the same age as Huck. One of the daughters Grangerford elopes with one of

the Shepherdson and marry, which increases the tension between the two families and results in a

firefight in which many lose their lives, including Buck. Huck presence this event, laments the

stupidity of men, again finds Jim and the two go on the raft.

Since they have lost out to the Ohio River, the new plan is that they will sell the raft and will use themoney to take a steamer to the North. Unfortunately, until they can do so, come two men fleeing the

law, or maybe a gang (but there isn't much difference between the two by these parties). Anyway,

Huck has a soft spot for criminals, welcomes them and gives them support.

What a bad idea. It turns out that men are scammers. They present themselves as the Duke (the



youngest and least bad man) and the King (the largest and worst man). Immediately begin to plan

his first scam (turns out that the two were unknown before and they were fugitives from justice at

the same time). First thing they do is poorly represent scenes from Shakespeare. They think to make

money doing it. Before a representation to take place in public, the King goes to the Bank and timamoney - almost ninety dollars - some credulous religious people. This type is not nothing nice.

Then they stop in Arkansas, where they witness a very strange scene. A drunken man called Bogue

is threatening a solemn and stoic man named Sherburn. Sherburn gives you a warning and then kills

him for being insolent, fastidious and, of course, for being drunk at noon. When a crowd comes

Lynch Sherburn, he tells them that they are cowards that they never lincharían a real man.

Interestingly, people are going without touching him a hair of your head.

Since this small incident is over, two swindlers can proceed with his interpretation of Shakespeare.

Unfortunately, they are in a small-town Arkansas Hamlet, as brilliant 16th century theatre can not

be appreciated. They decide to try a bit of comedy less cultured, but turns out that it is more like

two dumb idiots jumping for a few seconds. Somehow, two scammers manage to make their scam a

few more days, before escaping from the village with all money from tickets, leaving behind a

group of very angry people.

Then two scammers pretend to be the brothers of a man who died recently to try to gain his

inheritance. To achieve this scam they will deceive three lovely nieces, who most likes to Huck. He

ashamed of his role in the deception because it takes the bag that has the money of the estate

($6,000) and hides it in the coffin.... After the funeral, confesses all to the niece who likes (Mary

Jane) and the two make a plan. Then come the real brothers and a joke weapon. During a brawl in

the cemetery Huck manages to escape, but fails to leave the Duke and the King. Then, the four menare way again.

The Duke and the King realize that do not have more money (lost money from his Shakespeare

swindle along with inheritance money) and while Huck is distracted the King sells to Jim. Then, the

King used all the money from the sale to buy whiskey. Huck leaves the two men to go get Jim in a



nearby farm owned by Silas Phelps. Sally, the wife of Silas, Huck mistaken for his nephew who

should come to visit. The nephew is... Tom Sawyer! Huck pretending to be his friend Tom and then

intercepted him when he arrives on the farm. Tom is happy to see his friend and know that he is not

dead. Tom pretends to be his younger brother, Sid Sawyer.

The two boys are Jim, to whom prisoner is kept in a nearby hut. They decide to release him but

Tom, is a young man, has a great imagination and want to do an event of this release. They build

several methods complicated leakage, for example, dig a tunnel instead of the door. Even worse,

Tom sent letters of warning to the House before the flight, so a group of farmers is monitoring the

hut that night and a shot hits Tom in the calf while the two boys are fleeing with Jim.

They reach the raft but may not abscond because of Tom wound. Jim hides in the bushes and Huck

is the canoe to seek help. As only one person fits into the canoe, Huck stays in the Bank while the

doctor goes to the raft. Then sleep by accident. You will reach the farm the next day and Sally

chides him for fleeing during the brawl. The next day Tom returns to the House in a mattress,

recovering from his wound. The doctor is with him and Jim is chained.

Men want to run to Jim, but the doctor says that it revealed itself to save the life of Tom when thedoctor needed another pair of hands. For this reason, they decide to enslave it rather than kill him.

Tom wakes up and tells the story of helping him escape and adults are horrified. Then reveals that

in reality Miss Watson freed Jim in her will for two months when he died, then the matter is

irrelevant.

Then becomes Polly, the sister of Sally, and reveals the true identities of the two boys. Jim is

released and he tells Huck that, by the way, dead man found makes some two hundred pages washis father, and Huck does not have to worry about it again. Also, the $6,000 it has still to be used

when you want to. Huck decides to go to the West, where you can have more adventures.



In any case, remember that Tom, like Huck, is a child and as such is prone to practical jokes,

fantasies and games. Indeed, if religion is the widow of the church, and Jim is superstition,

"religion" Tom is literature. Constantly trying to emulate the books, plotting their plans according

to the stories you read. But Huck, he represents another set of rules, another instance of how

things should be. This, perhaps, satirizes the other systems of laws, such as religion, superstition

and even the laws of the country (such as slavery).

The idea is that when people are focused on obeying laws without question, dutifully obeying their

results, often these people lost. The same Tom sees things through to the end of the novel sees

that Jim is a separate person from his family and is forced to live in a prison to serve prototype

entertainment. And do not look good because he is too polite in his system of rules based on

books you've read, like the other characters in the novel are caught is their systems. Silas Phelps,

for example, is so polite to obey the rules about slavery (ie, in making Jim return to their "own

law") which also forget that Jim is a person and not a property.

Huck Finn se presenta como el narrador de la historia. Empieza en la casa de "La Viuda" en

Missouri, donde ella y su hermana la Srta. Watson pretenden "civilizarlo". Intentan enseñarle

buenos modales y religión y mandarlo a la escuela también. Sin embargo, Huck pasa el rato con su

creativo amigo, Tom Sawyer, con quien hace bromas a personas como Jim, el esclavo de la Srta.

Watson. Interesantemente, los dos chicos no hacen caso, en general, al hecho de que cada uno de

ellos tiene $6.000 que encontraron en una cueva. (Esto sucedió en la novela anterior de Mark

Twain, Las aventuras de Tom Saywer .)

Cuando Huck tiene una premonición, le da todo su dinero a Judge Thacher, el magistrado. Luego,

su padre borracho y violento vuelve al pueblo. Hasta ahora, todos habían pensado que estaba

muerto pero, por desgracia, no es verdad. Le exige el dinero a Huck, que se alegra de que su padre

no llegara un día antes. Enfurecido y violento, su padre lo amenaza un poco pero luego lo secuestra

para que los dos puedan vivir en pobreza cerca del río.

Después de poco tiempo, Huck está harto. Finge su propia muerte y va a la Isla de Jackson para



esconderse. Allí se tropieza con Jim, el esclavo de la Srta. Watson, que ha huido a la isla para evitar

ser vendido al Sur (y, por consecuencia, ser separado de su familia). Jim ya es un sospechoso en el

homicidio de Huck. Deciden fugarse a la desembocadura del río Ohio, donde Jim puede escaparse a

los estados libres (es decir, los estados en los que no se permite la esclavitud) y ganar un poco dedinero con el cual puede volver y comprar a su familia. Antes de irse de la Isla Jackson encuentran

un cadáver pero Jim no permite que Huck mire su cara porque es demasiado "gashly" ("gashly" es

una pronunciación equivocada de "ghastly", que quiere decir espantoso).

Mientras tanto, Huck hace unas investigaciones en una aldea cercana, fingiendo ser una chica – y

haciéndolo mal. Los dos se dan cuenta de que pronto los van a pillar, pues huyen lo más rápido

posible con rumbo a Cairo, la ciudad donde el río Misisipí se junta con el río Ohio. (Véase estemapa. El río Ohio es el que hace una curva hacia el norte y Huck y Jim empiezan en Missouri, al

lado del río Misisipí.)

La primera "aventura" verdadera ocurre cuando los dos encuentran un vapor naufragado durante

una tormenta. Huck sube y se encuentra con tres ladrones, de los cuales dos están matando al

tercero. Quiere ir por ayuda pero su balsa se ha desatado, de modo que ahora él y Jim están en el

barco con dos supuestos asesinos y un ladrón casi muerto. Huck y Jim logran escapar y buscanayuda pero sin embargo los tres ladrones mueren en el vapor.

Los protagonistas temen pasar Cairo – es decir, viajar demasiado al sur en el río Misisipí – pues

Huck decide bajar para averiguar dónde están. Mientras va hacia la orilla, se da cuenta de que en

ayudar a Jim a escaparse, está robando la propiedad de la Srta. Watson. Experimenta una crisis

moral pero al final no puede traicionar a Jim. Cuando vuelve a la balsa, los dos se dan cuenta de

haber pasado Cairo a causa de la neblina. Un gran vapor casi los aplasta y hace pedazos de su balsa.Los dos se caen al agua.

Huck llega a la orilla y los Grangerford, una familia aristócrata y rica que está peleando con otra

familia aristócrata y rica, los Shepherson, lo acoge. Conoce a Buck, el hijo mayor de la familia que

tiene más o menos la misma edad que Huck. Una de las hijas Grangerford se fuga con uno de los



Shepherdson y se casan, lo cual aumenta la tensión entre las dos familias y resulta en un tiroteo en

el que muchos pierden la vida, inclusive Buck. Huck presencia este acontecimiento, lamenta la

estupidez de los hombres, encuentra a Jim de nuevo y los dos salen en la balsa.

Ya que han perdido la salida para el río Ohio, el nuevo plan es que van a vender la balsa y usarán el

dinero para tomar un vapor hacia el norte. Desafortunadamente, antes de que puedan hacerlo, llegan

dos hombres que están huyendo de la ley, o a lo mejor de una pandilla (pero no hay mucha

diferencia entre las dos por estas partes). De todos modos, Huck tiene una debilidad por los

criminales, los acoge y les da ayuda.

Que mala idea. Resulta que los hombres son estafadores. Se presentan como el Duque (el hombremás joven y menos malo) y el Rey (el hombre mayor y peor). Inmediatamente, empiezan a planear

su primera estafa (resulta que los dos no se conocían antes y que eran prófugos de la justicia a la

misma vez). Lo primero que hacen es representar muy mal unas escenas de Shakespeare. Piensan

ganar dinero haciéndolo. Antes de que tenga lugar una representación en público, el Rey va a la

ribera y tima mucho dinero – casi noventa dólares – de unas personas religiosas crédulas. Este tipo

no es nada amable.

Luego se paran en Arkansas, donde presencian una escena muy extraña. Un borracho que se llama

Bogas está amenazando a un hombre solemne y estoico que se llama Sherburn. Sherburn le da una

amonestación y luego lo mata por ser insolente, fastidioso y, claro, por estar borracho al mediodía.

Cuando una muchedumbre trata de linchar a Sherburn, él les dice que son cobardes que nunca

lincharían a un verdadero hombre. Interesantemente, la gente se va sin tocarle ni un pelo de la

cabeza.

Ya que ese pequeño incidente ha terminado, los dos estafadores pueden proceder con su

interpretación de Shakespeare. Desafortunadamente, se encuentran en una aldea pueblerina de

Arkansas, pues el brillante teatro del siglo XVI no se puede apreciar. Deciden intentar un poco de

comedia menos culta, pero resulta que es más como dos imbéciles mudos brincando por unos

segundos. De alguna forma, los dos estafadores logran hacer su timo unos días más, antes de



escaparse de la aldea con todo el dinero de las entradas, dejando atrás a un grupo de gente muy

enojada.

Luego los dos estafadores fingen ser los hermanos de un hombre que murió recientemente paraintentar obtener su herencia. Para lograr este timo tienen que engañar a tres sobrinas muy amables,

de quienes la mayor le gusta mucho a Huck. Él se avergüenza de su papel en el engaño pues toma la

bolsa que tiene el dinero de la herencia ($6.000) y la esconde…en el ataúd. Después del entierro,

confiesa todo a la sobrina que le gusta (Mary Jane) y los dos hacen un plan. En ese momento llegan

los hermanos verdaderos y se arma un relajo. Durante una reyerta en el cementerio Huck logra

escaparse pero no logra dejar a El Duque y el Rey. Entonces, los cuatro hombres están de camino

otra vez.

El Duque y el Rey se dan cuenta de que no tienen más dinero (perdieron el dinero de su timo de

Shakespeare junto con el dinero de la herencia) y mientras Huck está distraído el Rey vende a Jim.

Luego, el Rey usa todo el dinero de la venta para comprar whiskey. Huck deja a los dos hombres

para ir a buscar a Jim en una finca cercana cuyo dueño es Silas Phelps. Sally, la esposa de Silas,

confunde a Huck con su sobrino que debería venir a visitar. Dicho sobrino es…¡Tom Sawyer! Huck

finge ser su amigo Tom y luego lo intercepta cuando llega en la finca. Tom se alegra de ver a suamigo y de saber que no está muerto. Tom finge ser su hermano menor, Sid Sawyer.

Los dos muchachos encuentran a Jim, a quien se mantiene prisionero en una choza cercana.

Deciden liberarlo pero Tom, como es un joven, tiene una gran imaginación y quiere hacer un evento

de esta liberación. Construyen varios métodos complicados de fuga, por ejemplo, cavar un túnel en

vez de usar la puerta. Aun peor, Tom manda unas cartas de aviso a la casa antes de la huida, así que

un grupo de granjeros está vigilando la choza esa noche y un tiro le pega a Tom en la pantorrillamientras los dos chicos están huyendo con Jim.

Llegan a la balsa pero no pueden fugarse a causa de la herida de Tom. Jim se esconde en los

arbustos y Huck va en la canoa para buscar ayuda. Como sólo una persona cabe en la canoa, Huck

se queda en la orilla mientras el médico va a la balsa. Luego se duerme por accidente. Llega a la
