because Hines saw the king in a canoe the day before the funeral
Hines claims that the duke and king are frauds because of their false identities, deceptive behavior, and manipulative actions towards the townspeople. He sees through their schemes and recognizes them as dishonest individuals who are taking advantage of others for their own gain.
hes cool
Sherbun was able to identify Huck and the king
no he dosent he belives them to be frauds :)
they were tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.
Huck helps the king and the duke escape a mob by stealing their raft and leaving them behind. He then lies to a passing steamboat captain, saying that his family is stranded and needs help, which directs the steamboat towards the king and the duke instead. This enables Huck to distance himself from the two frauds.
A King is a more senior position than a Duke.
Hines believes the king is an imposter due to inconsistencies in his behavior and actions that contradict the expected demeanor of a legitimate ruler. He notices signs of deception and suggests that the king lacks the experience and wisdom typically associated with true leadership. Additionally, Hines may have observed the king's failure to command respect or loyalty from those around him, further reinforcing his suspicions. This skepticism ultimately leads Hines to question the king's legitimacy and authority.
Not a king, but a Grand Duke. His name is Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg
The duke and the king impersonate relatives of Peter Wilks to deceive the townspeople and claim Peter Wilks' inheritance for themselves. They hope to capitalize on the townspeople's sympathy towards the Wilks family to manipulate the situation in their favor and make off with the money.
False. In "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," Huck did not claim to see the doctor in the king's room. He played along with the king and the duke's schemes, but he did not make that specific claim.
