And Hu Huiping, tries to find the good human nature in Huck。 Because of the friendship between Huck and Jim established during their escape journey down the Mississippi River and his own mental conflict, Huck finally determined to help Jim acquire freedom。 Huck’s act is just the challenge to the traditional society in which slavery system is lawful。 The fact that all Huck’ s most natural impulses in his relationship with Jim cause him to feel guilty is the most telling criticism of the society that formed his moral awareness。 By the description of Huck, Mark Twain highly praises the goodness of human nature and appeals to fight for Negro’ s freedom as well as their human rights and dignities。 (Hu, 2005: 52-55)
Furthermore, some scholars choose to analyze human nature from the perspective of archetypal criticism。 Liu Dan, identifies the biblical and mythological archetypes embodied in this great novel in order to reveal some human spirit and the profound meaning of the mythical words。 He thinks that Huck has many similarities to Adam。 From an innocent and ignorant boy to a brave and intelligent and mature hero, he just like Adam falls from the paradise and overcomes hardship to seek for the paradise regained。 These adventures make him be a new man。 Huck is one representative of all Americans who try their best to achieve their American Dreams。 So Huck is also considered the American Adam。 (Liu, 2013)
Another significant and productive approach to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn concentrates on its educational meaning。 Lou Lijie, analyzes the novel by the features of Bildung。 He holds the opinion that freedom is the essential prerequisite for personal Bildung。 Bildung is an infinitely reciprocal process of change which occurs between the inpidual and his environment。 Bildung attaches great importance to spiritual improvement。 The adventures of Huck embody the features of Bildung in Bildungsroman。 Huck finally chooses to seek for freedom is a royal inheritance of the classical Bildung。 (Lou, 2012)
