The novel’s primary backdrop, the Lower Mississippi is the motive force that drives both the raft and the narrative. Most of the novel’s action actually takes place ashore, but no character ever strays far inland, and the river’s presence always looms. Rich in symbolism, the river washes away sin (such as bawdy houses and murderers), bestows wealth (including bountiful fish and valuable flotsam), and wreaks destruction (destroying both steamboats and towns), all the while inexorably carrying everything upon it ever deeper into the South and its harsh plantation slavery—exactly where Huck and Jim do not want to go.

They allow the river to carry them south because they lack the means to navigate upriver and because forces beyond their control repeatedly prevent them from obtaining such means. Twain was intimately acquainted with the river. St. St. Jackson’s Island Jackson’s Island. Raft Raft. "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" OVERVIEW. "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" MOTIF 1.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

You get a book that's been banned in classrooms and libraries around the country since just about the moment it was published in the U.S. in 1885—and a book that's been on required high school reading lists for almost as long. Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was a follow-up to Tom Sawyer, and it dumps us right back in the Southern antebellum (that's "pre-war") world of Tom and his wacky adventures. Only this time, the adventures aren't so much "wacky" as life- and liberty-threatening.

Huckleberry Finn is a poor kid whose dad is an abusive drunk. Huck runs away, and immediately encounters another runaway. He's escaping slavery. This encounter throws Huckleberry into an ethical quandary (that's a fancy way of saying "dilemma"). Fifty years later, Huckleberry Finn was part of American literary tradition. We're not sure.
