Huck was a character who was able to see past race. Although he was brought up in a society that enslaves an entire race of people, he was never given nor never sees a reason to justify their treatment. As a result, Huckleberry Finn was able to not only befriend slaves, but view them entirely different than the society he was raised in. A second social issue presented in the story was child abuse. Huckleberry was abused by his Pap. His Pap was a drunk so there it was not clear if his sober self was abusive, but there was no doubt his drunk side was. He takes Huck into the woods and keeps him there, not allowing him to leave. Huck feels trapped by this and ultimately decides to escape, thus leading him on his adventure.
