  1. THE CALL OF THE WILD The differentiating themes of civilization and the wilderness in Huckleberry Finn

  2. CILIVIZATION WILDERNESS A relatively high level of cultural and technological development; stage of cultural development at which writing and the keeping of written records is attained; the process of becoming civilized; A situation of urban comfort. A tract or region uncultivated or uninhabited by human beings; an area essentially undisturbed by human activity together with its naturally developed life community.

  3. The wild and civilized worlds are two prevalent themes in the novel. Not only does this apply to the different settings that Huck sees on his adventures, but it also applies to the personalities of the many people that he encounters. “The Widow Douglass, she took me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn’t stand it no longer, I lit out. I got into my old rags, and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied.”
