Subject to controversy, Twain’s 1884 “Huckleberry Finn” looked to challenge era-specific issues that don’t hold up in the modern century. Most modern readers (hopefully) wouldn’t relate to Huck’s morality which is a product of the society that he is in. This shows in-text as Huck has doubts and regrets when it comes to helping a slave – Jim – escape. “I couldn’t get that out of my conscience, no how nor no way. . . It hadn’t ever come home to me, before, what this thing was that I was doing. But now it did; and it stayed with me, and scorched me more and more.” (Twain, 1974) By use of the word conscience, one sees that Huck views this issue as inherent right versus wrong, and he believes he is on the wrong side. His choice to help Jim has nothing to do with his “moral compass” but, as is explained later on, it is due to his own sympathies towards a person who regards him as a friend. Huck is not actively choosing to challenge a slave-based economy or a time period saturated with racism, but is instead feeling guilt from the actions that go against this society. After Jim calls Huck his friend, we come to this internal debate: “I was paddling off, all in a sweat to tell on him; but when he says this, it seemed to kind of take the tuck all out of me. I went along slow then, and I warn’t right down certain whether I was glad I started or whether I warn’t.” It is his sympathies that cause Huck to do what he believes is the wrong thing. To Huck, this is a moment of weakness, but to any modern-day reader, it is a show of strength. Conversely, Heinrich Himmler refused to give into his sympathies for the sake of his own skewed morality. This is, of course, referring towards sympathy towards the Jewish people during the Holocaust and his “bad morality” reflecting the one of the Third Riech. The conflict in Himmler’s mind is shown through one of his speeches: “. . . the extermination of the Jewish race. . . Most of you must know what it means when 100 corpses are lying side by side, or 500, or 1,000. To have stuck it out and at the same time— apart from exceptions caused by human weakness—to have remained decent fellows, that is what has made us hard.” Here, Himmler is openly admitting that it’s difficult to follow through on the Nazi’s plans while remaining “decent fellows”, however, the implication that one can remain a “decent fellow” is proof that his morality is, in many ways, “bad.” Himmler proposed that only the weak give into their sympathies and doing such is “taking the easy way out.” One can argue that this is a man doing what he is told; he is just following orders given by one Adolf Hitler. However, up to 10,000 Germans and Austrians fled persecution to help those in need, those affected by the Holocaust. (Smith, 2007) The text quotes a physician quoting Himmler in saying, “‘It is the curse of greatness that it must step over dead bodies to create new life. Yet we must. . . cleanse the soil or it will never b>
