Why does Huckleberry Finn not get along with Miss Watson and Widow Douglas in 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'?

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.


Huck struggles against society and its attempts to civilize him.The persons who try to civilize him are Miss Watson the Widow Douglas and other adults he comes across.How does this help Huck grow up?

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).
