• Blog – How does Huck ruin the Duke and King’s plan? Why does he do it?
The Duke and King’s plan was to get to the river at about 3am and leave with what they have. At first, the King doesn’t agree but later aggress to it. Huck hears this when he is hiding in the Kings room. Huck sees where they hid the bag of money and took it out of the bed before they were half-way downstairs. Huck then takes the bag of money and puts it in the coffin. Huck then goes and tells Mary Jane of the Dukes and King’s plan. He tells her to go to a relative’s house so she doesn’t give anything away. Huck does this because he feels guilty about the grief she is feeling, the separation of a slave family.

This is a very good synopsis of this part of the book Michael.
I also agree with you when you say that he feels empathy for the people grieving over Peter's death. I believe that Huck is becoming a much more mature person (who is able to tell more easily now), between right and wrong. He has had trouble in the past because of his lethargic father's teachings clashing with those from the Widow. But he is getting better at figuring out the right course!
