*AntiEducationMama: When the poor drunkard Pap Finn returns and learns his son Huck has started going to school and learning to read in his absence, he accuses Huck of trying to be uppity.
--> ''"Now looky here' you stop that putting on frills. I won't have it. I'll lay for you, my smarty; and if I catch you about that school I'll tan you good. First you know you'll get religion, too. I never see such a son."''

* AssholeVictim: Zigzagged. While the Duke and King getting tarred and feathered is a fitting punishment for all they've done, Huck still feels sorry for them either way.

* NoNameGiven: We never learn what the real names of the Duke and King are. At one point they use names when advertising their sham play, but these names are actually those of famous actors at the time.

* RoughOveralls: The lower class variety as well as the troublemaker version. Huck--who is barely out of childhood -- is often in overalls, dislkes the idea of being well behaved or civilized, and he's one of the poorest kids in the town.

* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Huck's main conflict is the story is whether to do what he's been told is good, that is follow the rules and the law, or to follow what his own awakening morals tells him is right. His speech stating [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight 'All right, I'll go to hell']] is him choosing to do what he thinks is right even though his community has confused what is lawful with what is good to the point he believes he's risking hell by freeing Jim from slavery.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Tom can come across as having undergone a case of this, with how he's perfectly willing to put Jim's freedom at stake just so he can have an adventure. It is softened ''somewhat'' by the revelation that his real plan had been to, as soon as he and Huck had broken Jim out, tell Jim that he was a free man and then take him back to St. Petersburg on the steamboat, to ensure that he came home in ''style'' and was hailed as a hero by the entire community... it doesn't make the plan any less stupid and pointless, but it was at least made in some sort of mistaken belief that it would bring Jim some some glory. It also helps immensely that at the end of the story he pays Jim $40 for being so patient about the entire thing... though it's uncertain if he'd planned that from the start too or if he'd just had a HeelRealization and wanted to make amends.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: It may not have been completely intentional on Mark Twain's behalf, given how he struggled to end the book, but Tom can definitely come across as this to Huck. When he re-enters the narrative he pretty much takes charge of the story, and Huck's CharacterDevelopment seems to regress as his admiration for Tom overrides his common sense, and he willingly steps in line to follow Tom's harebrained schemes because he just assumes Tom knows better than him.

** The Duke and the King were punished by tarring and feathering and being ridden out of town on a rail. This means that they were stripped naked, covered in tar and feathers, and been paraded around town straddling a fresh-cut, splintery fence rail. To be fair, they completely deserved it.
