摘要:
《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》是马克·吐温的一部代表作。
主人公哈克贝利·费恩是几个现实人物的再创作,通过细节描写逼真的刻化出其形象。
哈克贝利·费恩反应敏捷、足智多谋、为人善良、品德高尚,他的这些特性帮助他在旅途中平安躲过各种灾难和困难。
作为一个小孩子来说,哈克和其他小孩子有许多共同点。
比如他热爱大自然,也容易产生情绪波动。
然而,他还有许多其他孩子所没有的好品质。
然而,他的许多好品质都是与西方的原罪说相悖的。
另外,作为一个有一点叛逆性的青少年来说,哈克也在不断地追求自由。
残酷的父亲和文明化的寡妇束缚了他,同时,束缚吉姆的奴隶制都促使哈克更期盼获得自由。
在哈克帮助吉姆逃跑的整个过程中,哈克收获了不少。
他在和吉姆交流时,逐渐地转变了他以往对于黑奴的看法并有了自己的见解。
较同辈而言,对于奴隶制的看法以及家境和世俗促使他更加成熟。
通过对哈克贝利·费恩这一人物的塑造,马克·吐温表露了他对个人自由问题和社会对个人束缚问题的关注。
