The voices of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
13 voices in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Every one is a separate voice, cast to the character as written.
- Narrator — Huckleberry Finn narrating his own story in his own voice — a boy on the Mississippi, speaking directly and plainly.
- Jim — Miss Watson's enslaved man; warm, deeply wise, a loving father figure to Huck. Brave and loyal despite the injustice of his situation.
- Tom Sawyer — Huck's best friend; imaginative, dramatic, and book-addled. Loves romantic adventure schemes and always follows 'the books'.
- Pap Finn — Huck's abusive, alcoholic father; a degraded, violent man consumed by drink and resentment.
- The King — A fraud con man who claims to be the rightful Dauphin of France. Pompous, theatrical, greedy, and ruthless.
- The Duke — A fraud con man who claims to be the rightful Duke of Bridgewater. Slippery, theatrical, and quicker-witted than the King.
- Widow Douglas — Huck's kind-hearted guardian; a respectable widow who genuinely cares for Huck and tries to civilize him.
- Miss Watson — The Widow's prim, religious sister; stern with Huck but not entirely heartless — ultimately frees Jim in her will.
- Judge Thatcher — The respectable local judge who holds Huck's money in trust and acts as a fatherly legal authority.
- Mary Jane Wilks — The eldest Wilks niece; honest, trusting, and brave. She inspires genuine loyalty in Huck.
- Aunt Sally — Tom Sawyer's aunt; warm, flustered, and easily confused. She mistakes Huck for Tom and takes him in with open arms.
- Uncle Silas — Aunt Sally's husband; a gentle, bewildered old farmer-preacher who means well.
- Colonel Sherburn — A cold, proud Southern gentleman who shoots a drunk man and then faces down a lynch mob with contemptuous calm.
