Abstract:
The present paper investigates the moral dilemmas in three of Mark Twain’s works: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, “What is Man?”, and “No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger.” This study is conducted with a special focus on Mark Twain’s moral position. Therefore, the principal objective behind this study is to demonstrate the affiliation between the hedonist doctrine and Mark Twain’s ideas. Furthermore, it also seeks to bring some clarifications regarding the alleged ideological shift that Mark Twain underwent over the course of his career.
