An analysis of Huck Finn and Erik Erikson's theory of human development. Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain.

Mark Twain's characters of Jim and Huck in "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" simply saw their voyage as a fun, life-changing voyage. Despite this simplicity, complex characters emerge: Huck is portrayed as a rationalist, whose logic can solve problems. Jim, on the other hand, is the opposite: he is extremely superstitious.

Huck's thoughts and beliefs are controlled by society when he is around society. The river controls his destination and physical surroundings when he and Jim are on the river. But on the river, his thoughts and beliefs are free. Huck has stated blatantly that he loves the river much more than the shore. From these proven facts, one can infer that Huck bases his feeling of freedom on whether or not his mind is free.
