Huckleberry Finn Man Vs Man Conflict

Man Versus man conflict is an easy element to pick up on in literature and remains to be in literature through all time and style periods. Mark Twain applying man versus man conflict in his novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was a key to its great success holding up over time. Man versus man conflict relates to all ages and generations which make a book more interesting and enjoyable to read and using it in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn makes the book more fun to read. When reading the novel the reader will notice that the conflicts are easy to relate to modern day life and bring a great amount of excitement to the book. The types of man Versus man conflict vary throughout the book from physical fights between two individuals, verbal
When Huck and Jim are traveling down stream they later board a large boat to hitch a ride along the river they get into a verbal conflict with the people or the boat. When they tell the people of the boat that they will need off in four or five miles they (the people of the boat) get "booming mad, and give us (Huck and Jim) a cussing" (Twain 190). The cussing was a harsh verbal beating that the people let out due to their frustration with Huck and Jim. The cussing on the boat is only a minor example of a verbal conflict between characters, but shows Twain using a variety of conflicts to keep the reader's interest.

Well later that day the man is still talking about him and the Colonel walks up to him and shoots him right in the middle of town. After doing this the town starts to talk and realizes that what Colonel Sherburn did was wrong
When Huck and Jim are running the King and Duke out of town they get them on a shit and run into another one of their many predicaments, "When they got aboard, the king went for me(Huck), and shook me by the collar…"(Twain 240). Then later on as the book is coming to an end, and Huck is on one of his last adventures of his journey, rescuing Jim from the farm there is one of the bigger conflicts. Not only do they (Huck and Tom) get physically worn down and hurt while escaping from the farm but the men shout, "after 'em, Boys! And turn loose the dogs!" (Twain 317). This is when the men get to their final resort and have to bring dogs in to hunt them down. That is another example of how Twain manipulates conflicts to go from man versus man into something else and in that case it changes into man versus
