From the beginning to the end of the novel Huckleberry’s immaturity was noticeable.…

In ‘Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’, Huck Finn is a motherless child and is trying to escape his drunk and abusive father, Hester Prynne in ‘The Scarlet Letter’ commits a sin so seemingly horrifying that she can now only live a life of public shame and loneliness, and Anthem’s Equality 7-2521 has a burning curiosity to know more than what is given to him which almost gets him killed.…
