Therefore, the question arises: Is independence really a good thing Robinson Crusoe found that it was not such a pleasant experience. In the book the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Huck is also restless in the beginning and eager to be independent and he believes that he will be able to have the best time if he is on his own. But as the story progresses, he discovers how he needs others and realizes the value of having other people to depend upon, especially in his relationship with Jim.

In the beginning of the story, Huck lives in Tom's house, where old Widow Douglas cares for him. She gives Huck new clothes in which he "couldn't do nothing but sweat and sweat, and feel all cramped up" (Twain 3). All the cleanliness and orderliness makes Huck so uncomfortable that "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" (Twain 3). He wants to be independent and independence for him is symbolized in the freedom to go where he likes, when he likes: "All I wanted was to go somewheres. all I wanted was a change, I warn't particular" (Twain 4). He sneaks out in the night and gets involved in pranks with Tom and the other boys but in the mornings he has to go back again to the washing and the studying.
