The hero of the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is Huck himself. Huck is a boy who initially does not appear to have many of the typical characteristics of heroes. He is quite poor and comes from a low social class. He is rebellious and seems difficult to "reform." This makes him skeptical of the world and of most people around him.
However, Huck also displays some characteristics that make him a "hero." Huck is inclined to fight his own battles and make his own rules. He is very brave and has confidence in himself. Moreover, Huck is kind, and he prefers to follow justice and fairness rather than follow society blindly. All of these qualities make Huck a "hero" in the story.
