Huck FinnHuck is a child of the country, therefore he is uncivilized, unschooled and he has a childlike way of cutting to the heart of a subject. The Widow Douglas and Miss Watson are kindly older women who are of the upper levels of society. As they take Huck in and try to civilize him it goes against his very wild nature. Neither party really understood the other, nor tries to. One wanted change and the other refused to.Also, Widow Douglas and Miss Watson represent some of the hypocrisies of society. Huck sees the widow chewing tobacco, and yet is not allowed to smoke. Miss Watson does the exact things that she is teaching her children not to do. Huck is a very logical child, and he hates these hypocrisies.
Not only do Miss Watson and Widow Douglas push their views of society on Huck, Tom, Jim and Pap do as well. As Huck learns about the beliefs of Tom and the "books" and Jim's beliefs in voodoo, superstitions, and charms he grows up. Huck does not like living in the ways of Widow Douglas or Pap ultimately leading to his escape to Jackson's Island. The way other people are trying to civilize him is taking away his innocence. As he breaks away from others' personal beliefs, he is becoming more of an individual and listens to his heart. This is proven when he states "I'll go to helll" (207).
MIss Watson is another figure like the widow Douglas in Huckleberry Finn. They are sisters and both try to 'sivilize' him and teach him religion. They try to dress him properly. Miss Watson is also the owner of Jim, the slave who runs away and ends up traveling with Huck.
