Is Huck Finn a satire? Why or why not? Is it funny? What is it criticizing?
I don't find Huckleberry Finn sarcastic at all. To me, the story is not funny at all, nor is is trying to be. This is not to say that Mark Twain is not funny. Instead, it seems to be an adventure story without any humor. It might be because the humor used fits better in the time period that it was written. A lot has changed in 130 years. The style of humor has obviously changed. I am used to the humor of current times. This may explain why I do not find the story unfunny.
