He even shows movies he dislikes as a result of his desire for money, seen in the quote "Duddy didn't say a word all through the screening but afterwards he was sick to his stomach." (159) While his father does not place a large importance on wealth, his extremely wealthy uncle proves to have a lasting effect on his development as Duddy is instilled with a desire for wealth. Likewise, Macbeth is easily tempted into killing and manipulating many simply due to the desire for power and social praise.
Ultimately, Huck hides Jim from the slave catchers by leading them to believe he is hiding his sick father with the smallpox under the tent. The slave catchers even float a twenty-dollar gold piece on a board to Huck. Though Huck is always up to mischief, he is smart at manipulating relationships. The relationship Huck has with Jim becomes one of respect. Twain shows that while there are people who view slaves as inferior, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn gives great example that shows a human side.
He will do anything for money, as made apparent by his suing Tom Robinson for rape, simply because he knows he’ll win the case by sheer fact of his race. The town decides to let him hunt off-season in order to feed his children, as they shouldn’t be punished for his affliction, which absorbs assets as any addiction is prone to. Lastly, and sadly so, are the African Americans, who are unjustly cast to the bottom of the ladder simply because of their skin color. They are willing, but unable, to move up the social scale, forced to do the least-paying and most dangerous

When Gene went he realized that Leper was Away With Out Leave and the war had caused him to go insane. Leper’s enlistment made the concept of the war easier for Gene to cope with. The friendship between Gene and Leper was probably the least significant relationship for Gene of all. Brinker was jealous over the quick bonding between Gene and Finny, so Brinker looked for a way to revenge Gene by having a trial and forcing Finny to see that Gene really did cause him to fall. Leper gained the respect of Gene and the others, when he enlisted with the ski troopers.
His intelligence was the reason for victory in the Trojan War, tricking the Cyclops and getting revenge from the suitors During the Trojan War, Odysseus ordered for a wooden horse to be built so soldiers can hide inside of it. Him and his men hid inside and ended up attacking the people in Troy which gave them victory. This shows that Odysseus’s cunning is a virtue because without him the Greeks wouldn’t have won the Trojan War. Now onto tricking the Cyclops, Odysseus and his men came upon a cave with food not knowing it was the Cyclops. Odysseus knew he couldn’t physically defeat the Cyclops so he used his intelligence to defeat him.
His sudden change in thought is all to do with the dead man’s three daughters. Because of how nice they are to Huck, Huck starts to feel as if he is the one that’s “letting him (the king) rob them (the girls) of their money” (Twain 147). This is the turning point of Huck’s straight path to hell as he calls it. From this point on Huck chooses the moral thing to do rather than what he has been conditioned to do. Huck Finn is like so many Americans.
