The Ruined Plan
In these chapters the Duke and the King come up with a plan to rob the Wilk's family. They want to steal all the money from them during Peter Wilk's funeral. With Huck not agreeing or liking the plan, he comes up with his own idea to stop the Duke and King's scheme. The first step that Huck comes up with is to steal their money and hide it from them. Since HUck has been with the Wilk's he knows that the money is hidden under the bed so he decides to take it then hide it from the Duke and the King. Once he is in possession of the money. people start walking in the house so he freaks out and hides it in Peter's coffin. Before Huck could get the money out, Peter is buried and the money is buried with him as well. Huck thinks he has a problem but instead he just walks up to Mary Jane and tells her everything. He tells her about the money and how the King and Duke are just con-artists and how they have just been scheming a plan to steal the money this whole time.

I think that the situation involving the money is a good indication of the morality of Huck Finn. Even though Huck is running from the law and society, he understands the basis of what is right and wrong to do. He sees himself as in a position where he has a choice to make. Either he can let the duke and the king have the money, keep it all to himself, or prevent anyone from having the money all together. Huck made the right choice.
