When I read this novel I didn’t like it at first. From the very first chapter it was easy to deduce what this novel is going to deal with – the conflicts between civilization and freedom, black and white, social ranks, mastery and slavery.
Huck is adopted by the Widow Douglas who wants to raise him as a civilized child. He feels cramped in new clothes, and he hates everything about being civilized. I think that even Huck himself thinks that one has to be civilized in order to be respectable, as he says “…I might join if I would go back to the widow and be respectable.” This fact gave me the impression of Huck as a little kid that knows what is right and what is wrong, but doesn’t have enough self-discipline to behave like everybody else, to obey social norms. Despite that, Mark Twain seems to understand this kind of behavior, since he makes a mockery of the widow’s civilized way of life “The widow rung a bell for supper, and you had to come to time. When you got to the table you couldn't go right to eating, but you had to wait for the widow to tuck down her head and grumble a little over the victuals, though there warn't really anything the matter with them…”  “…after supper she (the widow) got out her book and learned me about Moses and the Bulrushers, and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by and by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn't care no more about him, because I don't take no stock in dead people.” –
