The theme "fraud" in Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain

What could be one of the worst ways to make money? It would be something that would deceive human trust and beliefs and use it for doing fraud. In the story Huckleberry Finn, two people use fraud for living; "Dauphin (Luis XVII)" and the "Duke of Bridgewater." Dauphin, commonly called as the "king," is a man is in the seventies, bald-headed with gray whiskers. The other person, introduced as the "duke," is in the thirties. …

…Even though there is no direct effect of their actions, their wrongdoing would eventually pay off the price for misusing human trust. Maybe lies are necessary, for example, Huck tells a lie to the slave traders to save a life of his best friend Jim. But when this is used in a bad way, it produces dishonesty and distrust in the society. Therefore, people like the "king" and the "duke" should be arrested and punished.
