In
the circus, a drunken man tries to come into the ring. He says that he could
ride a horse better than everybody else and the crowd laugh and say alright.
The man gets on the horse and holds his neck. The horse starts running, and the
man’s heels fly in the air. The horse breaks loose, and the man almost falls. The
people go crazy. They just laugh watching him dying. At the end, they find out
that they were manipulated, and people yell out with pleasure.
But
when Huck sees the man, he could never laugh. Even though it was all fake, Huck
still feels bad about it. But when people see a man falling off of the horse’s
back, they rather think it is just hilarious than feel uneasy or nervous. People
in the circus do not know the value of life. They do not have standards of
morality. They enjoy watching a man dying. Huck sees the people through the
crowd who is selfish and corrupted. To borrow Huck’s words, it is “shame of
human race”.
