Twain demonstrates the insincerity of religion through the Widow Douglas. The Widow Douglas is portrayed as a woman who follows the Christian ‘rules’ but ironically has the lowest principles. Twain uses the Widow as an example because of her caustic actions. She exposes and forces onto Huck many rituals such as mealtime prayer which Huck doesn’t understand.

The first lie is good and bad Jim lies about the dead guy in the house to Huck because the dead guy is Huck’s dad and Jim thinks Huck will leave if he knew about his father being dead.
Twain states, “I couldn’t stood it much longer. Then for an hour it was deadly dull, and I was fidgety. Miss Watson would say, “Don’t put your feet up there, Huckleberry;” and “Don’t scrunch up like that, Huckleberry—set up straight;” and pretty soon she would say, “Don’t gap and stretch like that, Huckleberry—why don’t you try to behave?” Then she told me all about the bad place, and I said I wished I was there“ (Twain 2). Huck talks about how he couldn’t stand being a household where he is always being told what to do.

In The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin, we are introduced to our main character, Huck, who comes from the lowest levels of white society. With Huck’s poverty life, he has not been indoctrinated with social values as someone from middle class would. Therefore, Huck’s distance from society at the time makes him skeptical of the world around him and the ideas passed to him. Due to his experience from his travels and his journey down the river, Huck begins to questions what society has taught him. This allows Huck to make his final decision on rescuing Jim from enslavement despite the consequences ahead of him, such as his decision to go to hell.
Obedience is to obey with an order, request, law or submission to another’s authority. People have often pondered as to why we do what other people tell us to, even when we are unsure about it ourselves. Is it simply the circumstances we find ourselves in or is it our personality type, like the suggest ‘authority personality’ type. Milgram did a number of experiments to try and find answers to this and proposed ‘Agency Theory’ as an attempt to explain his results. He believed that people worked on two levels: the autonomy level, where your behaviors are your own and you’re aware of the consequences and accepting of the responsibility.
