Pap rebukes Huck for trying to better his life and demands that Huck give him the fortune he made after discovering the robber’s gold. So Huck does as the Widow tells him and gets to play robbers with Tom and other boys once in a while.Įven as Huck grows to enjoy his lifestyle with the Widow, his debauched father Pap menacingly reappears one night in his room. However, Huck stays with the Widow and Miss Watson because Tom tells him that, if Huck doesn’t stick with his life in straight-laced civilization, he can’t join Tom’s gang. Huck resents the “sivilized” lifestyle that the widow imposes on him. He explains that at the end of that book, he and his friend Tom Sawyer discovered a robber’s cache of gold and consequently became rich, but that now Huck lives with a good but mechanical woman, the Widow Douglas, and her holier-than-thou sister, Miss Watson. Huckleberry Finn introduces himself as a character from the book prequel to his own, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
